NEARs Science Workshop

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

The workshop offers an opportunity to explore community capacity building through NEAR science (neuroscience, epigenetics, adverse childhood experiences, resilience). Students will develop a foundational understanding of NEAR Science applications in community health, iterative strategic development and evaluation of community-based NEAR science efforts. Broader goals of this workshop allow students to support the growth of Self-Healing Communities' coalition strategies, including but not limited to NEAR science resource development, community capacity building efforts and trauma-informed community practice.
