The University of Florida College of Public Health and Health Professions partnered with Peace4Tarpon under the Robert Wood Johnson Mobilizing Action for Resilient Communities (MARC) grant funding. Online graduate courses were developed that focused on trauma-informed and resilience-based public health.
The work of graduate students in the course PHC6451: Building Resilience in Individuals and Communities for Public Health are showcased throughout the blog. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of resilience and how resilience-building approaches are applied to public health; an examination of resilience-building efforts through a review of the public health literature; and the opportunity to develop a communication campaign proposal to build resilience using the social-ecological model.
The 11 graduate students enrolled in the course have posted overviews and summaries of their Public Health Communication Campaign Proposals on the UF ACEs Connection page. This project required students to direct and manage the creation and development of 3 health information products (2 print media and 1 multimedia) to build resilience in their selected population.
You are welcome to comment on the student projects!
The syllabus for the course is also attached.
