400 word forum post. This is not an essay. Need this NLT 1300 EST on 1 October.
This week, we examine domestic violence, considering the many forms it can be displayed against all members of a family unit. In addition to understanding what domestic violence may look like, the course materials provide insight to the difficulties of identifying, assessing, and appropriately intervening in cases of domestic violence. The trauma response cycle is explained as a model of victim response and recovery.
- In your forum post, discuss the utility of the trauma response cycle in working with victims of domestic violence.
- How does an understanding of the cycle contribute to intervention and treatment strategies in cases of domestic violence?
- Considering each stage of the trauma response cycle, during which would be most difficult to implement intervention and treatment goals with clients, and why?
