30-Hours Professional Diploma in Acute Stress Disorder
Credit hours
3
Acute stress disorder can follow a traumatic event, and early recognition matters. Learners study the neurobiology and psychological impact of acute stress, how it is identified and distinguished from other conditions, and risk and protective factors. Trauma-informed communication, supportive interventions, and responses to dissociation and flashbacks are also covered, providing awareness rather than clinical qualification.
