The signature assignment for this course is an 8-10 page paper in APA
format with cited research for a relational treatment program designed
for a specific type of trauma. The program review will focus on
services that address a specific experience such as those of suicide
(either attempted or completed), untimely deaths, divorce or
relationship break ups, domestic violence, child molestation or other
forms of child abuse or neglect, rape, sex trafficking, bullying, racial
or ethnic wounding or trauma, specific wartime groups, disasters, etc.
Other topics can be chosen with consent of the instructor. The
description of the program will include references and citations in
each of the following sections:

1. Overview of the topic and experience. Who are the survivors of
this trauma? What have they experienced? Why do they need a
program? Previous attempts to help. Rationale specifically for
a systemic relational approach that involves family or social
network outside the program.

approaches will be the foundation for the program? How will
the program achieve cultural/gender relevance for a diverse

1 / 3

specific approaches and procedures for crisis or trauma
intervention. Do not attempt to regiment or mandate a “onesize-fits-all” approach. How will the program individualize for
each person? What interventions will empower participants to
design their own journey? For example, if immediate family are
not available, what extended family or community can become
part of a person’seam?
