SWK 2450 Trauma Informed Social Work Practice


3 Hours

This course will present the current conceptualizations of trauma-informed care from an ecological point of view.  Emphasis is placed on the biology and neuroscience of stress and trauma, the effects of trauma on populations at-risk and the evolving conceptualization of social work’s role in the treatment and prevention of stress and trauma.  Acquisition of diagnostic skills will be emphasized throughout the course as well as the knowledgeable applications of “trauma-informed care” to all levels of generalist practice.  Evidence-based interventions and treatment solutions will be presented to students, but not expected to be practiced.
