A brief description of the certificate program(s):
Professional Certification in Human Trafficking Prevention & Intervention
Florida State University has launched a new online Professional Certification in Human Trafficking Prevention and Intervention, which addresses SDG 5, 8, and 16 . This curriculum was developed as a joint project of the FSU Clearinghouse on Trauma & Resilience within the Institute for Family Violence Studies, the College of Social Work, the FSU Center for the Advancement of Human Rights and the Center on Academic and Professional Advancement. The curriculum enables professionals to develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand the dynamics of the different types of human trafficking. It also provides professionals with practical skills to increase awareness of and improve services and interventions for victims/survivors of trafficking. This self-paced curriculum includes seven chapters and 12 hours of course content with research-based readings, case scenarios, multi-media materials, 11 new videos from experts in the field, assignments, and quizzes. The training non-credit, professional development and is therefore open to the public.

Professional Certification in Trauma & Resilience
Florida State University now offers a Certification on Trauma and Resilience Series that provides a comprehensive foundation of knowledge of the effect of trauma and the elements of resilience. The World Health Organization states that “building resilience is a key factor in protecting and promoting health and well-being at both the individual and community levels’ and contends that resilience has a very prominent role to play in working towards all of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This series of courses will prepare professionals to provide culturally competent, trauma-informed services, and build resilience in themselves and the people they serve. Registration for each course is rolling and the curriculum is self-paced and fully online. Level One includes 20 hours of course content and ten chapters of research-based readings, case scenarios, multi-media materials, assignments, and quizzes. Level Two includes eight chapters and 15 hours of course content with research-based readings, case scenarios, multi-media materials, assignments, and quizzes. The training is non-credit professional development and is, therefore, open to the public.
