Journal 2- Intergenerational and Historical Trauma
OverviewAs social workers, we need to be introspective. Journaling provides meaningful self-reflection – a creative path of self-discovery, capturing ideas, feelings, and behavior in unique ways. Feel free to be as open and honest as you feel comfortable with, as these reflections will only be read by your instructor.
This activity helps to meet MLOs #1, # 2 & 3

- please let me know if you have any hard time opening the links
Please submit a two-paragraph personal journal entry reflecting upon this experience. Based on your reading, the videos in MyClasses, and the creation of your culturagram, how does an understanding of historical and intergenerational trauma shift how you see yourself and your relationship with current or future clients?
