RS 3263 — Resiliency, Vulnerability, and Crisis
Individuals with disabilities may be affected by crisis situations and trauma, and it is important to understand the immunities (strengths) and vulnerabilities (needs) that affect the ability of the person to respond to these situations. These immunities and vulnerabilities may come from within the individual or their personal situation, or societal responses to disasters such as Covid-19, tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes. This course will provide students with exposure to assessing and planning for crisis situations, both from a personal and societal perspective. Students will learn how to develop an individualized plan that builds on strengths and accesses resources.
