Trauma and Trauma Informed Practice with Diverse Populations Across the Lifespan
Historical, environmental, and situational trauma is experienced within ourselves, our families, and the communities in which we live and serve. Its impact is diverse and the capacity for persons to healthily understand, integrate, and perceive an internal locus of control minimizes or exaggerates the impact within their biological, emotional, and responsive systems. What goes unhealed/unresolved is passed on to the next generation. If we are to wait for social justice to resolve what ails our community, we will remain waiting for generations for a systematic shift that yields a solution that will transform the nervous systems of those negatively impacted the most. As social workers and members of these diverse communities we have the opportunity to support the people we serve through a post traumatic growth process. In this session we will explore our grounding theories and practices that can hold the history and impact of trauma, in tandem with opportunities to experience well being, desire, and joy.
