SWK 568 Trauma Informed Practice
Those engaged in social work serve a vital role in the development of a responsive, trauma-informed practice approach that also contributes to a trauma-informed work environment. Using a person-in-environment and strengths perspective, this course will advance students' knowledge of the impact of trauma on work with individuals and families, as well as those organizations that desire to be trauma-responsive. Developing a trauma-informed perspective helps clients heal and reframe their life experiences in achieving stability. Personal reflection will be encouraged with emphasis on the development of a personal action plan for self-care and trauma-informed care.
