The NI-CO Team Saturday held a dialogue session with social workers in Amman “Trauma Informed Practice in Social Work – An Overview” to introduce the concept of trauma in Social Work and outline how this can be used to better understand, assess and engage with beneficiaries.
NI-CO Component Lead Dr Michael Murray led the dialogue session and explained the concept of trauma in social work that also focused on the importance of developing trauma-informed organisations and trauma-informed communities.
Social workers who partook in the session gave very positive feedback and requested further seminars on related subjects such as “Adverse Childhood Experiences and Infant Mental Health.”
