Trauma Analysis: 25 points

Students will read What Happened to Me? Students will complete a written assignment which presents their understanding of trauma and how awareness impacts practice. The paper should discuss:

• Trauma Overview-
• Literature review of trauma (what is traumatic experience/trauma- what does current literature say?)
• A personal assessment of your reaction to the book
• Insight into your reactions and triggers. Consider: how does hearing about trauma impact you? Why does this matter as a practicing social worker?
• Insight into personal growth– What additional personal growth needs to occur? What specific issues may still be present that need to be addressed prior to engaging in an effective helping relationship. How do you intend to address these?

Self care for secondary traumatic stress- what is your plan for self care: emergency and maintenance?

Quality over quantity! Focus on academic writing that is clear, well organized, and concise. This paper tends to be around 4-8 pages. I would anticipate no less than 5 references as well.
