HSE-315 prepares students to provide services to children and families in highly emotional situations, examining the genuine role and impact trauma has on child and family functioning. With prerequisites of HSE-101 and PSY-211, the course builds on both human services foundations and psychological development theory to prepare students for trauma-informed practice.
A deliberate two-discipline prerequisite foundation
The course requires both HSE-101 and PSY-211 as prerequisites, a genuine cross-department requirement reflecting that understanding trauma's impact demands both human services professional grounding and psychological development knowledge together.
Preparing for emotionally demanding practice, not just academic trauma theory
HSE-315 explicitly frames its goal as preparing students to provide services in highly emotional situations, treating emotional readiness and practical service delivery as the genuine target, not just theoretical trauma knowledge.

Worked example: two disciplines converging on trauma
- Single-discipline approach: Understanding trauma only through a psychological development lens (PSY-211 alone)
- HSE-315's approach: Combining that psychological foundation with human services professional practice (HSE-101) to prepare for real trauma-informed service delivery
- Lesson: HSE-315 teaches that understanding trauma's impact well requires this combined foundation, not psychological theory or human services practice alone

Frequently asked questions
Understanding trauma's role and impact on children and families genuinely requires both a psychological understanding of how trauma affects development and functioning (from PSY-211) and a human services professional framework for how to actually deliver services in response (from HSE-101) — neither discipline alone provides the complete foundation needed. HSE-315's dual prerequisite reflects that trauma-informed practice is genuinely interdisciplinary, not solely a psychological or solely a service-delivery topic.
Knowing trauma theory academically is different from being prepared to actually sit with a family experiencing acute crisis and respond effectively, and human services professionals who lack this practical emotional preparation can struggle even with strong theoretical knowledge. HSE-315 frames its goal this way because genuine readiness for trauma-informed practice requires this practical, emotionally-aware preparation alongside academic understanding of trauma's effects.
