Trauma-Informed Care in Social Work Education: Implications for Students, Educators, Pedagogy, and Field
Structured and informed by social justice orientations, this essential volume explores how trauma-informed care can be integrated in all aspects of social work education. This handbook incorporates a critical and ecologically focused lens with an emphasis on resilience, healing, and strengths-based approaches.
With contributions from over sixty experts in the field of social work, education, psychology, and counselling, this comprehensive book provides current understandings of how trauma manifests in the lived experience of social work students. The book begins by introducing why trauma-informed care is needed in social work and addresses the reality of historical trauma. Each chapter views the social work student at the center of the educational journey and considers how trauma can shape experiences in various settings such as the classroom, curriculum, field, educational policy and community involvement, and support services. Chapters cover topics such as the neuroscience of trauma, poverty, disability, racism, experiential approaches, online course delivery, climate change, mindfulness, student mental wellbeing, and more.
This handbook is a must-read for social work educators and field instructors who seek to prevent and minimize trauma in their social work pedagogy. It is also beneficial for undergraduate and graduate courses such as child and youth care, addiction services, and foundations of social work.

"In our modern world, the majority of people will be exposed to at least one traumatic event in the course of our lifetimes. A compassionate approach to care asks us to recognize the social and cultural contexts of traumatic events while also addressing the impact on our bodies, brains, and emotional processing capacities. This volume of trauma-informed care for social work education is an invaluable resource for all students and educators allowing you to not only provide excellence in your care for others but ensure that you preserve your own embodied well-being as you serve your community."
Arielle Schwartz, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, founder of Resilience Informed Therapy, and author of The Complex PTSD Workbook"In this incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and timely book, editors Lea Tufford and Arielle Dylan have assembled a dream team of leading voices in social work education to provide the most complete, in depth and rigorous approach imaginable to the pressing challenge of integrating trauma-informed principles of care into all aspects of social work education. Anyone and everyone involved in educating, training and supervising social workers for the complex challenges of recognizing and skillfully treating trauma in its intersecting individual, collective, structural and intergenerational dimensions will benefit enormously from this groundbreaking contribution."
