Welcome to our class PSY418A! I am delighted to have you in this class for this semester. This course is deliberately designed to conform to the Problem Based Learning (PBL) mode of delivery. PBL, a learning and teaching approach which Daystar University has recently adopted, provides learners with opportunities to identify solutions to ill-structured, real-world problems. We shall all be learning to learn, so let us commit to be available and to support one another in the learning process. I look forward to a meaningful interaction throughout the semester. Welcome!

PURPOSE OF THE COURSE

The purpose of the course is to equip the student with knowledge to enhance their understanding of issues relating to trauma, PTSD and crisis intervention in the community. This will prepare the learner to apply the knowledge and skills gained to deal with those affected in the community.
