Milestone One: Outline of Case Analysis – Needs
A. Assess the impact of physical trauma on the children and family.
i. What are the short-term impacts of this trauma?
There are several short-term trauma effects. Eloni was thrown out of the house and suspended from school, and Anamalia got a letter of intent to move away from her apartment management organization. The objective to get out is from the complaints of the neighbors of the family who are afraid of Eloni and because of the noise in family disagreements. This family can also encounter short-term effects like fatigue, a sense of hopelessness, and feeling overawed with the requirements of solving the problem.
ii. What are the long-term impacts of this trauma?
They involve Eloni's necessity for therapy on mental wellbeing and drug addiction. Kolomalu will have to go for mental health counselling to acquire knowledge on overcoming his brother's abuse. Anamalia will need counseling for mental health since the whole case can lead to long-term feelings of embarrassment and remorse (Conover, Sharp, & Salerno, 2015). Eloni would most likely need a longer amount of time in mental health and drug addiction counselling, to overcome thoroughly the issues he faces. Kolomalu may also have a long-term need to continue mental health care as childhood abuse is closely related to severe depression, suicidal thinking, PTSD, and dissociative signs. Anamalia will need longer counselling since she will experience the impact of trauma directly because the son will be away from home, and the younger son will be at risk.
iii. How do the impacts differ?
The two types of effects vary the way it affects each person over time. The short-term effects are those that can be resolved within a narrower period, while the long-time effects are the ones that are considered and treated for a longer period. Contrary to Eloni's case, Kolomalu would have to take mental health guidance much longer to overcome suffering from the violence. Kolomalu's trauma experience (long-term effects) may bring future impacts like stress, assault, and drug abuse to him (Flaquer, 2014).
iv. How are they similar?
The effects are the same since they are all detrimental to the family and the particular family members. While the traumas' effects may reduce in diverse periods, each effect has resulted in the family straining and their lives interrupted.
B. Discuss the needs that are present due to the physical trauma on the children and family.
i. How are these needs trauma-related?
Because of Eloni’s bullying of his younger brother, it became necessary to withdraw him from home immediately so that he couldn't make further abuse. It led to Eloni requiring mental health and drug abuse therapy and Kolomalu requiring mental health therapy to learn how to deal with the trauma, and Eloni to find out how to lessen his assault on others. Anamalia got a letter of intent to be displaced; Eloni's aggression made the neighbors complain. It resulted in a need for legal aid to prevent displacement so that she and her children can stay in their homes. The physical trauma also led to Anamalia requiring parenting lessons to learn how to cope properly with her children and their needs to prevent more physical or emotional trauma.
ii. How are the needs different for short- and long-term trauma?
The two types of needs vary in how they will be used by the individuals experiencing trauma. Eloni being taken out of the house entails short-term because he was taken off the family to provide instant family protection, but he can ultimately go back home. All children will require mental health therapy to address their particular issues and those arising from the original trauma in the long term. Depending on how the case is treated or the outcomes of the situation, the option for Anamalia to be evicted may be short-term and long-term. Upon eviction, it can trigger a long-term trauma that may lead to more short-term trauma (Kezelamn, 2019).
iii. How are they similar?
The two types of needs are the same since the end outcomes should help the family recover and each member of the family recover from the trauma. Giving a joyful, secure, healthy home life for every family member is the end outcome for every need, be it short or long.
C. Assess the impact of psychological trauma on the children and family.
i. What are the short-term impacts of this trauma?
There are diverse short-term effects that could occur because of this family's psychological trauma. Even in a household situation, each family member can perceive the experience differently. It indicates that, while both families have had the same events, each family member may have varying short-term effects. Anamalia can feel remorse, guilt, and anxiety since her responsibility as a mother couldn't prevent incidents from happening. Kolomalu may develop feelings of guilt and believe that his brother's eviction from the home is his responsibility. Also, in Kolomalu, fear may grow as he may feel as if his brother is not going to return or that he and his mother will be withdrawn. These emotions that may come up are all those that will recover as the trauma that occurred due to the events lessens, and the family can come together again (Conover, Sharp, & Salerno, 2015).
ii. What are the long-term impacts of this trauma?
Each family member would possibly be impacted by psychological stress on a long-term basis, but Kolomalu seems to be more vulnerable to long-term effects. For the family to be healthy and not continue to suffer from all kinds of traumas, the whole family needs mental health advice. It will aid Eloni in dealing with her violence, and past bullying assists Kolomalu in dealing with the violence he encountered and the pain when the brother was taken away. Anamalia will require mental health therapy to learn to deal with her children's experiences and the possible loss of their apartment (Starbird & Story, 2020). Kolomalu will probably encounter the highest effect in the long run since he feels guilty and afraid. Abused kids illustrate poorer academic performance, greater interactive and adjustment difficulties, are more violent, and have serious emotional problems. While Kolomalu did not suffer from long-term trauma, its effects on him could lead to long-term psychological effects.
iii. How do the impacts differ?
The two types of effects due to emotional/ mental trauma vary significantly. Short-term effects like irritation, guilt, and unsteadiness always reduce as the individual continues to end the trauma. Long-term effects of the trauma like stress, hostility, and PTSD will take an extra period to end fully, if at all, and will need some long-term treatment or involvement to truthfully end or become controllable.
iv. How are they similar?
The trauma effects are the same; it doesn't matter if they are short- or long-term effects; the person(s) will require a period to process, survive, respond, and heal from the trauma. Even though the healing time in the two types of effect varies, a similar procedure will happen for each of the two.
D. Discuss the needs that are present due to the psychological trauma on the children and family.
i. How are these needs trauma-related?
Owing to the traumatic, painful incidents affecting the whole family, they require therapy urgently to help with the circumstances that yielded the big trauma and the aftermath of the trauma. The emotional interruptions trauma victims are serious and can have lasting chronic long-term effects. Thus, this family's need to isolate the cause (Eloni) of the trauma until th4ey are secure, and to use therapy for emotional and drug addiction is also important to begin the procedure of dealing with trauma (Kezelamn, 2019).
ii. How are the needs different for short- and long-term trauma?
The two traumas vary depending on the time the need will be there. Trauma can influence people in various ways, but trauma mostly leads to helplessness, weakness, and fear. These emotions mostly reduce as the trauma situations lessen, and there are the regular daily routines such as Eloni coming back. Long-term traumas such as PTSD, mood disorder and anxiety, and treatment issues can take a long time to reduce because they are not outcomes easily accomplished. These long-term trauma effects that Eloni feels and that most probably influencing Anamalia; since her son is away, she fears that the other son is at risk again and the danger of losing the apartment because of Eloni's violent manners. Kolomalu is also going to endure the long-lasting trauma due to his brother's assault, separation from his brother, and even a sense of remorse that his brother has been removed because of him. Those traumas will consume a longer period to end, and they need treatment and intervention (Conover, Sharp, & Salerno, 2015).
iii. How are they similar?
The traumas are the same since they impact the health of the kids, the mother, and the family as a whole. The enhancement of all the people and the family's general wellbeing is the objective of both the trauma needs.
E. Discuss the risk and resiliency factors for the children and family.
i. What factors are present?
In this situation, children and families are exposed to several risk and resilient factors. The risk factors include withdrawing Eloni from his home because he abused his brother, his deferral from school, and the abuse he had suffered previously. Family risk factors include the risk of expulsion due to the hostility of Eloni and the apprehension it brought to neighbors, the mother's joblessness and failure to purchase enough food for the family, and the risk that, when Eloni returns, Kolomalu will be in greater danger. While the children and the families are subject to the many risk factors mentioned above, they also have many resiliency factors. Children and the families have access to psychiatric and substance abuse therapy, and Anamalia attends parenting lessons. There is financial or legal help is available for her to address their food crisis and probably the problem of eviction. As a unit, the family has a resiliency aspect of being close to the local Pacific Islander community, and Eloni is optimistic and admired by several agemates. These are all aspects that allow family and children to cope with trauma during and after their period (Flaquer, 2014).
ii. How do these relate to the specific issue in the case?
While Eloni's activities are unforgivable, they could be the results of the trauma effect he endured and was never dealt with. The same outcomes could indicate for Kolomalu, due to the misuse his brother had committed on him, particularly if the appropriate intervention is not given and used. Animalia's joblessness. The unemployment of Anamalia is also attributed to the particular problem in the situation because of the decreased wages (Conover, Sharp, & Salerno, 2015). Childhood mistreatment can occur at all socioeconomic class levels, but higher rates have been witnessed in low-income and disadvantaged family settings.
iii. How do these relate to the ages of the clients?
As a grown-up, Anamalia will have the capability to process, respond, and heal from the trauma easily. Early youthful trauma is more harmful than trauma occurring later when an individual is older because of the neurological, emotional, and psychological development of a human being (Kezelamn, 2019). The kids are at high risk due to the youthful trauma, and they encounter the effects very directly. When Kolomalu was 4 years old, he encountered several risk factors, like behavioral, speech, mental wellbeing, cognitive, and socioemotional development; these all take part in his health as a kid and later as a grown-up. Similar risk aspects are positive for Eloni because of his abuse encounters and could cause the present threats and trauma (Conover, Sharp, & Salerno, 2015).
