3 Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practices CEs
When working with the Latino undocumented community it is important to provide a comprehensive intake to determine current psychosocial needs and trauma narratives. This community often presents with a myriad of traumas that can impact service delivery and shape case planning. How do we explore specific needs without further traumatizing individuals?
Through the use of trauma informed care principles this workshop will help attendees in the intake process to maximize client engagement and rapport building. Attendees will explore peri-migration trauma (traumas experienced before, during and after being in a new host country). While trauma is a universal concept, there are specific trauma experienced by the undocumented community. As a result, it is imperative to implement a trauma informed lens and incorporate core principles and concepts when working with individuals with to minimize or avoid retraumatizing them.
This workshop will focus on Trauma Informed Care (TIC) when working with the undocumented community. Attendees will analyze the six core principles of trauma informed care: safety, trustworthiness & transparency, peer support, empower, voice & choice, collaboration & mutuality and gender, cultural and historical issues.
This is an interactive workshop were cases vignettes will be presented and participants will work in a group setting to further maximize their understanding of the concepts presented.
