Recent data suggests that over approximately 2/3 of individuals are exposed to at least potentially traumatic event and that there are a wide range of impacts on functioning. The impact of trauma is vast and reaches far beyond just traumatic stress and may hold the link to some of the biggest health and economic problems we face today.
This course will provide information about the impact of trauma and will outline best practices for creating a traum-informed practice. In a variety of settings (welfare, health, mental health, school), there are opportunities for promotive factors and interventions that will help traumatized youth ahd families adjust over time. We will consider how the evidence about effective prevention and intervention methods for trauma can be applied to a variety of social work settings.
