Free APA Course on Fostering Community Resilience

The American Psychiatric Association has created a course on fostering community resilience in a world that frequently experiences a broad variety of disasters, pandemics, and violence. Living through such events can directly strain health and well-being and create an environment of ongoing and persistent stress long after a given event has happened. The APA course covers some fundamental concepts and interventions related to disaster response and preventative psychiatry.

The course is free to APA (and, thus, UPA) members, provides 8 CME credits, and can be found here.

The UPA encourages anyone interested to take the course.
