SOWK 170 — Trauma and Healing
This course is designed to explore the areas of grief and loss in social work practice with exploration of how complicated grief lends to diminished functioning and quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. Additionally, the class will evaluate the impact of trauma over the life span and will look at the intersection of culture, race, gender, and religion with disproportionate exposure to trauma. Trauma informed protocol, resiliency, and post traumatic growth will also be emphasized. (Spring Only)
