Social Work – Explaining trauma and intervention to a client

Submit a transcript of a mock therapy session in which you as the social worker explain trauma and intervention to your adult female client, who is a victim of a violent carjacking, in a manner that is understandable to their developmental and educational level by addressing the following bullet points:

• Ask one question that you would use to elicit information about the client’s traumatic experience. [Assume the client responded and move on]

• Explain to the client the effects of trauma generally and how trauma may be affecting the client specifically.

• Explain to the client what intervention(s) you would recommend and why.

• Give an example of a technique/skill/exercise you would demonstrate to a client in order to support the selected intervention(s).

• Explain your role in any intervention, given your scope of practice as an intern, and to whom you would refer the client for additional intervention.
