DESCRIPTION
The eBook, "A Social Worker's Guide to Supporting Special Education Students in Texas Residential Facilities " will discuss social workers providing services to special education students living in residential facilities. Trauma is a complex and multifaceted experience that significantly influences the lives of special education students in residential facilities. It can stem from various sources, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to violence. Understanding the nature of trauma is essential for social workers, as it informs their approach to supporting these vulnerable populations. Trauma does not affect individuals uniformly; its impact can vary based on factors such as age, previous experiences, and personal resilience. Recognizing these variations is crucial in developing tailored interventions that address the unique needs of each student.
