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. 

What Creates Risk? What Promotes Resilience? The environments in which youth interact critically influence their growth and development. In nurturing environments where needs are met and youth are provided with responsive social care, safety, and encouragement to learn and explore, they thrive as they develop. Alternatively, environments that are unsafe, unpredictable, and unsupportive present threats to children’s normative growth and development. This course provides a research based, trauma-informed, multi-system framework designed to support healthy development, and gives educators, mental health professionals, policymakers, law enforcement/juvenile justice personnel, and direct-service workers in any setting the concrete knowledge they need to understand and promote well-being in youth.
