Capability Level: Emerging and Evolving
Each minute, 20 individuals are physically abused by their intimate partner. Abuse and neglect are a reality for 1 in 7 children. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is developed by 4 percent of men and 10 percent of women. Roughly 8 million people will develop PTSD in any given year. And then there is all the sexual violence: 20 percent of men endure sexual violence during their lifetime. For women, the number is nearly 50 percent. These events can impose enduring pain on a family for generations.
Understanding the impact of trauma on children’s lives is an essential skill for social workers working in schools. This knowledge can help inform our practice and interventions for wellbeing support of children in schools. This presentation will cover the prevalence of trauma affecting families, the impact of trauma on children’s brains, their learning and wellbeing, and what social workers in schools will experience in their roles supporting children (and families) who have experienced trauma.
Who should attend?
This presentation is targeted to social work students and emerging social workers with an interest in working with children and families in a school setting.
