PSYC 312 Adverse Childhood Experiences (3)

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the problem of childhood adversity. We will discuss how risk for childhood adversity develops and accumulates, how we can prevent childhood adversity, and how we can help those who have experienced childhood adversity. Throughout the course, we will examine different types of adversity separately (e.g., sexual abuse, physical abuse, witnessing domestic violence). We will also examine the broader concept of childhood adversity and how it impacts health across the lifetime.
