SHB8661 Risk and Resiliency in Diverse Populations

In this course, learners demonstrate proficiency in human behavior studies through research-based application of multidimensional resilience concepts to diverse populations, in order to identify the means of maintaining well-being throughout the lifespan. Learners evaluate types of resilience in response to risks caused by psychosocial, environmental, and genetic stressors and analyze the impact of coping skills on post-traumatic growth by identifying the process of resilience and the historical factors influencing it. In addition, learners examine leadership approaches to addressing personal risk factors with an emphasis on different models of advocacy to generate informed decisions for successful collaboration with multiple providers and various populations.
