SW 6301 - Child Welfare Practice I: Evidence-based Practice & Interventions for Trauma in Children/Adolescents

Through this course, students learn to understand organizations’ role in addressing the developmental impact of trauma and adverse childhood events on children and families they serve, and become familiar with the evidence base for promoting protective factors and developmental resilience. This includes learning the extent to which organizations address the pervasive symptomatology of complex developmental trauma that includes physiological, behavioral and emotional dysregulation. Students will learn trauma-informed organizational frameworks/interventions and how to translate these evidence-based practice principles into assessment and intervention across organization and community practice settings with children, youth and families.
