SW 686: Traumatic Stress & Crisis Intervention

Social Work

How people respond to traumatic stress is an individual matter based on a number of factors including psychological, emotional, social, cultural, biological, and familial. Students and instructors engage in a process of problem definition and specification, identification, critical reading of pertinent theory and research, and an exploration of specialized social work responses and practices related to the topic studied. Attention will be given to crisis intervention, trauma-focused interventions such as TF-CBT, and other interventions utilized by mental health professionals to assist individuals who have experienced a traumatic event. This course will provide the framework for understanding and treating traumatic stress by drawing upon empirical research and theory.
