This class has been canceled for the semester.

Trauma affects us all. As we grow older, we experience more loss, declining health and energy and uncertainty about the future. We may be struggling with unresolved events from the past, which can debilitate our lives today. In this course, we learn about the effect of trauma on a physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral level. We study the biology and history of trauma and stress. We look at the levels and types of trauma and, most importantly, how to return to optimal functioning.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
