As a follow up to #pfa, #NET looks like a practical form of therapy that doesn't use a traditional therapist/client dyad. Hmmm...would could benefit from this? @TISocialWork https://t.co/BBVNxr3p2z

Hey #socialworkers! "Does it edify you? Do you use it to escape your life? Does it bring you joy? Does it support your ego? Is it a place where you can do something about the pain in the world? Does it distract you?" (Lipsky) @TISocialWork @TraumaSteward

[Alma Whitfield @whit_alma]

How do we assess #trauma across cultures? Specifically for those of us (me!) who want to work with #refugees in resettlement? Here's a GREAT starting point! @TISocialWork #traumainformed #socialwork https://t.co/p3B0HZfbcc

[Alma Whitfield @whit_alma]

Ever heard of KIDNET? It's emerging as a culturally appropriate therapeutic practice to help refugee children process trauma! If you have an interest in working with #refugees check this resource out! #truamainformed #socialwork @TISocialWork
