SOCW 671 - Trauma-Focused Treatment with Children and Adolescents
3 Credits
This course introduces students to the common concepts (general theory and foundational knowledge), components (intervention and treatment elements) and skills (practitioner skills) underlying evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. The course explores the biological effects of trauma experiences on the brain and the effects of trauma exposure in attachment and development. Skill development focuses on the assessment and formulation of trauma experiences and the diagnostic categories related to trauma. Starting with a perspective that symptoms are adaptive responses, students begin to focus on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship and building a nurturing environment for those who have experienced trauma and loss. Students will explore how schools, agencies and families can become trauma-informed to enable them to better respond to the needs of those who have been exposed to adverse experiences.
