TRAUMA IN ADULTHOOD
While trauma is most commonly associated with posttraumatic stress disorder, it can manifest in adulthood in many different ways. Consider those who have experienced poverty, racism, or grief, for example. These clients may be significantly affected by their trauma but may not necessarily receive a diagnosis of PTSD.
Social workers intervene directly with trauma when working in veteran’s services, domestic violence/sexual assault response programs, and child protective services. Social workers intervene with trauma indirectly when working in mental health, substance abuse clinics, schools, refugee resettlements, and other forms of social service. Whether or not you are directly or indirectly treating it, trauma will be present in the practice space.
In this Discussion, you take on the role of a social worker engaging with an adult who has experienced trauma.
TO PREPARE
Review the Learning Resources on trauma and trauma-informed interventions with adults.
Describe how you would engage with an adult who has experienced trauma. Specifically:
Consider the questions you would ask to elicit information about the client’s trauma experience.
Explain how you would educate the client on the effects of trauma.
Explain what advanced-level clinical modality you would recommend and why.

A: Descriiption of the Family and Presenting Problems
A (1 page): A descriiption of the family and the presenting problems. “The client” is the whole family. You must discuss the whole family, and each member of the family. Use course readings and your own research to give facts about these presenting problems. (1 point)
B: Trauma and Its Impacts
B: (2 – 3 paragraphs): After the presenting problems are discussed, discuss any relevant history (such as trauma, foster care, adoption, etc.) (to the best of your ability). What are the traumatic events impacting this family functioning? (2 points)
C: Changes Needed

E: (3 paragraphs): Which family therapy/intervention (Bowen, Minuchin/Structural, Solution-focused, Object-relation, etc.) would you use to understand and assist the Madrigals? Include concepts from the theory to analyze your case. Please note: The theory is not the intervention itself, it is what the intervention is based on. You should be discussing the theory AND the intervention. (4 points)
F: Intervention Plan: Goals and objectives
F: (as short or as long as you need): Describe your intervention plan, include three goals and two objectives for each goal. Remember to use the S.M.A.R.T. way of stating goals/objectives that we have learned about this semester. (3 points)
F: Systems
F: (3 paragraphs): How will you involve multiple systems in this case? What other systems might be involved? How might you intervene or engage other systems, such as individuals, families, organizations, or the political system to help? (1 points)
For this assignment, Please Note:
• This paper must be in APA style, which means Times New Roman font, size 12, black ink. Title Page and reference page should be included. This is a master’s level paper. Please make sure your spelling and grammar reflect master’s level work.
• DO NOT PLAGIARIZE ANYTHING. Plagiarism will result in failure for this paper, and possibly for this course.
• NO DIRECT QUOTES; ALL WORDS IN THIS COURSE MUST BE YOUR OWN. However, if the idea comes from the article, you must cite it in correct APA style.
• EXAMPLE OF DIRECT QUOTE: Actual words from an article: “Trauma-informed care (TIC) in social service organizations means that the organizations operate with the understanding that everyone involved has possibly experienced trauma in their lifetime” (Wolf et al., 2014, p.1).
EXAMPLE OF IDEA TAKEN FROM SAME ARTICLE: Wolf et al. (2014) advises that when an agency uses trauma-informed care, it means that they work from the idea that everyone in the agency – from the workers through the clients – has a trauma history.

Here are the specific instructions for this week’s post.
