Lori Brown LISW-S, LICDC and Jennifer Schwirian LISW-S are social workers. They are Licensed Clinical Social workers and they work with a population of patients who have significant mental illness. As part of their work they have developed a deep understanding of trauma. Not the crash your car into a bridge piling trauma, but trauma emotional trauma that occurs in childhood from neglect, un-met needs and other emotional insults that can significantly shape behavior in adulthood. In this series we are going to look at the topic of Trauma Informed Care. This is a topic that is controversial. There are some people who think that trauma in this context is overplayed. There are others that don’t think enough attention is being paid to the impact of childhood and developmental trauma on adult behavior and mental health. So we tackle this with a discussion and let you have the opportunity to think about it and make some conclusions. In this first episode we discuss what a Clinical Social Worker is and what a Psychologist is and also what a Counselor is as far as educational requirements and what they do. Then we dive into the various agencies and players in the realm of trauma.
