課程概述

NOTICE! This course will be taught in Chinese !!! Classroom: 社科院6樓604教室
***課程助教(陳柏余,byccfrc@gmail.com)***
This course introduces students to the core concepts (general theory and foundational knowledge), informing evidence-based assessment and intervention for traumatized children and adolescents who are in the child welfare system. Strength-based practice will be highlighted along with a focus on the identification of protective and promotive factors that foster resiliency and post-traumatic growth. Using a Problem-Based Learning model, the course highlights the role of development, culture, and empirical evidence in trauma-specific assessment, referral, and interventions with children, adolescents, and their families within a child welfare context. 

課程目標
1. Explain how traumatic experiences are inherently complex.
2. Illustrate how trauma occurs within a broad context that includes children’s personal characteristics, life experiences and current circumstances.
3. Appraise the manner in which trauma events often generate secondary adversities, life changes and distressing reminders in children’s daily lives.
4. Evaluate a wide range of reactions to trauma and loss experienced by a child and family.
5. Examine the manner in which danger and safety are core concerns in the lives of traumatized children.
6. Provide a framework for intervention that addresses the level of functioning of primary care-giving environments, including parent/caregiver and family unit.
7. Examine the manner in which culture is closely interwoven with traumatic experiences, response, and recovery.
8. Determine the manner in which interventions with trauma exposed children and adolescents need to address ethical and legal issues as they arise.
9. Recognize how interventions with trauma-exposed children and adolescents impact the practitioner in working with these populations.
