Description

Forensic Psychology, in simplistic terms, is the interaction of psychology and the law and legal issues. The Online Programs in Forensic Psychology at The Chicago School want to provide students, faculty in other programs, and the general public an overview of topics in forensic psychology, to enhance participant’s understanding of forensic psychology and how the intersection of counseling and forensic psychology can improve social justice causes. 

This Microcredential consists of six modules, from topics relating to diversity and cultural awareness, youth resilience given the complexities of familial and environmental influences, identifying and treating trauma, understanding impression management, to animal-assisted therapy in the forensic context, and providing a thought-provoking conversation on policy-making to inspire participants in making social change in their career.  All sessions attended in full earn the “Applied Forensic Psychology” Microcredential. Single sessions on a topic of interest can also be attended for CE/CEU credit.

Registration for this Microcredential course includes access to all 6 sessions (6 hours).

Participants will receive a Digital Badge alongside a CE/CEU certificate upon successful completion of the course.

When attended in full, this program offers 6.0 CEs for Psychologists, 6.0 IL DFPR CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, 6.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs, 6.0 ISBE CPDUs for Illinois Educators, 6.0 NASP CPDs for School Psychologists, or 6.0 NBCC Clock Hours.
