Related Trauma In Youth: Mock Scenarios

266 Words2 Pages

On Wednesday October 21st 2015, I attended a meeting with my preceptor to debrief about a program called Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth (PARTY). This meeting allowed me to reflect on the importance of professional accountability and responsibility in the context of empowerment and intersectoral collaboration. The purpose of debriefing was to discuss about a mock scenario that was held at Markham Stouffville hospital. The mock scenario was to inform students from four Markham High Schools, about the ways students can prevent themselves in participating in risky behaviors such as alcohol and drug use that can lead to fatal accidents. The program was implemented on October 15th 2015, and the debrief was held on October 21st 2015,

  • Historic Trauma Case Study

    469 Words  | 2 Pages

    Historic trauma stems from relocation, disease, residential schools, the Indian Act, and racial policies meant to assimilate and eradicate Aboriginal people (First Nations Health Council, 2011). Contact between Aboriginal Peoples and non-Aboriginals facilitated the spread of epidemic diseases which lead to the Aboriginal population collapse (First Nations Health Council, 2011). Daschuk, Hackett and MacNeil (2006) note that different severities of diseases experienced by First Nations were directly related to the new realities of the First Nations peoples as they struggled to adapt to the world of the colonisers including economic dislocation, political changes, and changes from traditional diets all created the perfect environment for breading diseases. The government and churches actively colonized and controlled Aboriginal peoples by eroding all Aboriginal systems including “spirituality, political authority, education, health care systems, land and resource access, and cultural practices” (First Nations Health Council, 2011, p. 13). It is important to recognize that colonial structures have purposely sought to “eliminate Indigenous sovereignty, Indigenous governments and Indigenous constitutional orders” (Ladner, 2009, p. 90).

  • Neglect Trauma In Future Juvenile Delinquency

    243 Words  | 1 Pages

    Overall, I think that neglect trauma can be predictor in future juvenile delinquency, which has been proven to be a growing problem. There is a rising number of children in the criminal justice system with a trauma history, therefore the system needs to be more proactive about helping the children with trauma, specifically those with neglect trauma. DCFS should follow up on all reported cases, and judges should make harsher judgments to ensure that the children in neglect cases are getting the resources that they need such as, food, shelter, and clothing. Neglect cases should be decreasing with the help of programs like Redeploy and TARGET. TARGET has been proven to very successful in helping those juveniles, who are already in the system,

  • Vicarious Trauma Case Study

    1143 Words  | 5 Pages

    The purpose of this research project was to study vicarious trauma in order to develop an understanding of this negative aspect of interpreting, to discover how interpreters deal with vicarious trauma, and to bring to light information pertaining to coping with this aspect of the interpreter’s job. In this case study, the researcher examined numerous articles pertaining to vicarious trauma. The researcher then interviewed two nationally certified interpreters: one through a phone conversation, and the other in a face-to-face interview. Each interview focused on the interpreter’s personal definition of vicarious trauma, the interpreter’s experiences with vicarious trauma, and how the interpreter handles vicarious trauma. Current research and the two interviews indicate that vicarious trauma is difficult for an interpreter to avoid, that interpreters use a variety of methods to handle vicarious trauma, and that anticipating vicarious trauma and creating a plan to deal with it can be beneficial for a new interpreter.

    The emotional ,social and physical development of young children has an effect on their overall development and on the adult they will become. Sigmund Freud indicated how disruptions in stages of development may relate to current problems in adult hood for example :Trauma at an early stage in life may effectively prevent natural development through that stage this may then have a knock on effect in future stages causing development or learning problems for an adult . It is a positive thing for a client to recognise that certain childhood experiences may have prevented or halted their natural development ,since it provides a rational blame free explanation .If trauma does occur in childhood and problems arise because of that trauma then this

  • Disruptive Mood Trauma Case Study

    356 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is likely that most clinicians entering a village, such as the one described above, with the DSM and a prescription pad under their arm might prescribe anti-depressants and cognitive therapy to the Grouch, calm the Clown down with a little mood stabilizing medication, and relieve the Witchdoctor of his ritualistic behavior with a cocktail of treatments for OCD. The Man-who-Talked-to Trees and the Medium could clearly benefit from an anti-psychotic medication and probably psychiatric hospital incarceration, while the young Warriors, depending on their age, would probably label them with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. Some would say they might benefit from these interventions, and then again perhaps a combination of approaches would

  • Abuse Among Aboriginal Youth

    1557 Words  | 7 Pages

    Often time we associate alcohol and drug abuse with our adult census and we negate the fact that drug and alcohol abuse is prevalent in our youth community as well. With this essay I want to redefine what alcohol abuse is, and what drug abuse is, and what its association is with today’s youth. Hopefully I will awaken a saying of old in all of us, and that is, “It doesn’t just take a family to raise a child, but a community,” and reaffirm the responsibility of everyone that is associated with our youth in some way to make a difference. So what is alcohol abuse?

  • Key Issues In Trauma Management

    276 Words  | 2 Pages

    Traumatic events are beyond a person’s control and therefore trauma can affect anyone. I have identified several key issues within trauma informed programs and have developed strategies that may assist in the way organizations deliver trauma informed services. One such issue is the leadership style of the program director and or person(s) in charge. Leadership style is important when administering services because the attitude of the person in charge has a direct effect on their subordinates which can then affect services rendered. My strategy to combat this would be to hire a program director and/or program supervisors who encourage feedback, consider suggestions and ideas about the program and implementing trauma informed services.

  • Summary: The Effects Of Domestic Violence On Adolescents

    The exposure of adolescents to domestic violence has sparked debate and invoked studies that seek to unearth the effects of this violence on adolescents. Literature reveals that increase cases of domestic violence and child abuse pose a great risk to the later development of a child. Evidence reveals relationship between child exposure to violence and subsequent internalization and externalization of the outcomes in future life of the child. It is however important to note that while differences seem to show up in the outcome of these dual effects(effects of domestic violence and child abuse) these two differences where are not statistically significant. Calson (1984) claims over three million children are exposed to either domestic violence or child abuse.
