In Week 8 of Childhood Trauma Theory, Treatment & Recovery (CHFS‑3020) at Empire State University, students explore the emotional impact of working with traumatized children and the importance of maintaining personal well‑being. This week’s discussion examines both the challenges and rewards of trauma‑focused work, followed by a deeper look at self‑care through personal reflection and structured planning. Students also analyze a family affected by trauma, identifying their strengths and needs while creating a practical, supportive self‑care plan tailored to their circumstances.
Part A. In your
own words (and drawing upon the reading), describe some of the possible
negative effects that a person who works with traumatized children might
experience. Next, describe some of the positive aspects of helping children who
have experienced trauma.
Part B. 1. Complete this self-care assessment. 2. Use this template to create a self-care plan
for the coming 3 months. 3. Finally, post what you have learned or any
insights you have gained about your own self-care needs. How might creating a
self-care plan help you in your current or future work and life (whether or not
you work with traumatized children)?
Part C. 1. Imagine a family that has experienced trauma or toxic stress. (If you aren't familiar with a family, you can use this case study instead.) Briefly describe the challenges and strengths of the family. 2. Create a family self-care plan based on what you know about that family.
This week reinforces how essential it is for both professionals and families to prioritize well‑being while navigating trauma‑related challenges.
