HSE 2-2

HSE 315 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric The final project for this course is the creation of a case study and care plan evaluation. In the field of human services, you will at some point be working with trauma, so it is imperative that you know the role of trauma and its impact on the individuals, families, and practitioners involved. Specifically, you will need to be aware of the short- and long-term impacts of physical and psychological trauma, as well as how this trauma affects needs. Next, you will need to recommend appropriate referrals and resources to address these needs and various levels of crises. Not only will clients need recommendations, but practitioners will as well, as they also feel the impact of trauma from working with trauma daily. The final project for this course is a case study and care plan evaluation that requires you to analyze the provided case study and care plan for the impact of trauma on clients and also the plan’s ability to address trauma and associated needs. The conclusion of your evaluation will require you to examine the potential personal and professional needs that result from working in a trauma-charged environment. Also, you will make recommendations for the practitioner to address the specific needs. Prompt: Submit a 2–3-page outline of your Case Analysis – Needs section, addressing all critical elements as listed in Section I below and using the Case Analysis Outline template provided. The outline should be based on the case study and care plan and must address the impact of physical and psychological trauma on the family, the needs of the family related to the trauma, and the risk and resiliency factors of the family. Consider how different forms of trauma can affect people, as well as the developmental and sociocultural consequences of trauma. As you complete this milestone, consider the following questions:

• Have any of the family members experienced more than one trauma incident? • How might the different family members’ traumas overlap each other or impact each other? • Also consider how well the mother, who is also impacted by trauma, will be able to be supportive to her two sons. What might her sons need from her to

heal or start to heal from their trauma? • How likely is it that the trauma for each family member is temporary or long-lasting? • What coping skills does each family member have? People have different needs, even if their trauma or their reaction to the trauma may look similar. • What methods or assessment tools are appropriate for determining what each family member needs as a result of his or her trauma?

Consider not only the hierarchy of needs, but also the developmental stages of each family member, and the symptoms they are exhibiting. Some individuals seem to recover much more quickly from trauma, while others do not. How will you determine how resilient each family member is? How will you determine the risks for each family member? Some factors to consider are the age of each member, their support system, and the resources available to them. Psychological resilience is another component to risk. What does the literature say about psychological factors and risk and resiliency? Your instructor will provide you with feedback on this draft so that you can incorporate it into your final paper.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Case Analysis – Needs A. Assess the impact of physical trauma on the children and family. What are the short-term impacts of this trauma? What are the long-term

impacts of this trauma? How do the impacts differ? How are they similar? B. Discuss the needs that are present due to the physical trauma on the children and family. How are these needs trauma-related? How are the

needs different for short- and long-term trauma? How are they similar? C. Assess the impact of psychological trauma on the children and family. What are the short-term impacts of this trauma? What are the long-term

impacts of this trauma? How do the impacts differ? How are they similar? D. Discuss the needs that are present due to the psychological trauma on the children and family. How are these needs trauma-related? How are

the needs different for short- and long-term trauma? How are they similar? E. Discuss the risk and resiliency factors for the children and family. What factors are present? How do these relate to the specific issue in the

case? How do these relate to the ages of the clients?

Note: This milestone is an outline of the Case Analysis-Needs section of your final case study and care plan evaluation. Use feedback from your instructor on the outline to shape your final submission.

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: The outline of your Case Analysis – Needs section must be submitted using the Case Analysis Outline template. As indicated in the template, you should respond to each question directly in the Case Analysis Outline template with a response of at least two sentences. Use 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins, and any sources cited in APA format.
