1. Social Worker burnout–150-words
2. Generational Trauma in families-150 words
question and presentation, I was really
curious about generational trauma, and
specifically in families. And so that's kind of what
I'm going to get into today, kind of give
a little summary on the different studies I
looked into, the side effects, all of that.
But yeah, the first thing I wanted to talk
about is what is generational or intergenerational
trauma. Those terms are actually
can be interchangeable. and essentially
according to my research and what different
studies said is it's trauma symptoms that
manifest in descendants of trauma survivors
in the absence of a personal traumatic
experience so while maybe these descendants
could potentially have a traumatic experience
personally a firsthand traumatic experience
we're specifically looking at the trauma
that happened to either their parents or
their grandparents and how that affected them
today, which is very unique and I think
actually will provide a fuller picture of
understanding as social workers when we are
doing, whether that be different sessions
or therapy or serving clients, is understanding
that there could be a layer that isn't
just firsthand experience but from previous
generations and how that impacts them.
So throughout my research, I was specifically
curious about how this trauma impacted
mental and emotional health in comparison to
people without generational trauma and how
that manifested itself. And so across the
different studies, I looked at numerous
studies that were located in different countries
that focus on different aspects or
manifestations of it. But across the board,
intergenerational trauma manifested itself
similarly to people with firsthand trauma. Um,
it could have come up in
anxiety and depression, PTSD,
um, a significant lack of emotional
regulation or ways to process emotion, um,
low self-esteem, self -image, um, as well
as trust issues, how this impacted typically
familial, familial relationships, as
well as potential romantic relationships,
friendships, social dynamics, even in work
settings, um, it impacted outside of the
family or where the trauma was passed
down, which I think is key in understanding
as social workers of the fuller picture.
And yes, throughout those different studies,
I looked at studies that focused on a
more macro level with like war and economic
sanctions and political instability that
affected generational trauma, like survivors
of war, as well as people who had to seek
asylum due to political or economic instability
and how that impacted their families
and their children, as well as themselves.
Looked at different studies that focused on
people with illnesses or experienced a
shocking death and how that impacted not just
the individual, but the descendants to come.
Homelessness is another factor I was curious
about. I actually didn't really realize
that could have is a potentially generational
issue that isn't just like, oh, this person
is in a situation that is difficult, but
what happened before them in their family
dynamic or situation like that actually
spurred on homelessness and how that impacted
relationships as well as mental health of how
mental health that either a mom or a dad
or a grandparent experience and hotraumatic
experiences or even just processing the world.
And so, yeah, these studies kind of focus
on three different coping mechanisms or tools,
ways to address intergenerational trauma.
I'm not going to go deeply into them for
sake of time, but the three most effective
slash where there was really signif
process, to even understand what was going
on internally and externally, as well as
that they saw change and how these individuals
coped, how their mental emotional state
was, as well as impact their relationships,
was one, cognitive behavior therapy
was a very effective tool specific for
individuals, but also for families.
However, that one was
more individual focused.
Another effective strategy and tool, I think,
for us as social workers to be aware of
when helping individuals with generational
trauma is couple and family therapy of
inviting the conversation in for the people
that they directly live with in the familial
line, whether it's they are the source of
this trauma or they are maybe even potentially
receiving some of the generational trauma
in marriage or family or parenting was
a very effective tool. Couple and family
therapy was a very effective tool in understanding
and providing tools and growth for
families afterwards, as well as a significant
factor across all of the studies was that
having strong social supports, whether that
be in the family or in community settings
like church or school or even in the
workplace or neighborhoods was very effective
in treating and coping and actually growing
for individuals who were having physical,
mental, emotional manifestations
from the generational trauma. And having
these strong social supports helped
them heal or propel forward in growth.
However, there were a few gaps in the studies
as I was doing my research. There There
was quite a bit of snowball sampling or
selection bias throughout the different studies
where people would tap on people who knew
people, which ended up keeping a pretty
narrow focus throughout the studies. I noticed
there was quite a few narrowed focus that
limited maybe the full understanding of
what it could be, whether it be they just
focused on moms instead of moms and dads. or
it was just people who spoke English in these
Asian countries instead of having the
fuller picture of the different languages or
religions that could have been represented.
Quite a few self -report questionnaires
that, while are helpful and accurate
and provide an important testimony,
sometimes are not as reliable or valid in
our understanding of these research
studies, potential gaps for either people not
being completely honest or there being
skewed information that doesn't always
provide the full picture that as social
workers we maybe need to understand how to
best treat and care for our clients with
generational trauma, as well as certain
age groups or demographics being studied.
For example, in one of the studies,
there was specifically just mothers
who were fleeing their country
seeking asylum elsewhere and the impact
of PTSD and depression they carried and
how that impacted children under six.
While effective and helpful and important to
look at, curious of what it would look like
for mothers with that experience and how
that impacted their teenagers or their elementary
students or even their children who are
adults afterwards and how that impacts. So a
few gaps that can be rectified or maybe even
action items as social workers to further
understand or fulfill or fill in these gaps
is holding bilingual interviews or interviews
in different languages, same questions, maybe
across different cultures that could be
effective in even understanding not just the
like English is your first language. Okay,
here's how we're doing this, but implementing
a more international lens across the board.
Another potential gap I didn't necessarily
expand on um was that there were short-term
follow-ups so in a lot of these studies it
was three to six months out is is how they
looked at it whereas I think it would be extremely
beneficial to study um you know after
like a year three years or five years out to
see the longevity of this because as social
workers were hoping and believing to set people
up for success to empower for long-term
healing not just um in the moment or three or
six months out and wanting to provide tools
and strategies that families can implement
um down the line so i think that could be
helpful in understanding how cognitive behavior
therapy or couple and family therapy impacts
not just six months out of a traumatic of
an awareness of the traumatic experience or
like starting the conversations but years
down the line as well as expanding the scope
and the sample of pulling from diverse ages,
backgrounds, and family units, not just
single parent or two -parent households, not just
straight families or members of the LGBTQ
community, but wanting to have a
fuller understanding even across
religions, ethnicities, and race.
This is really impactful, and I think this
is really important for social workers to
understand of, I feel like we can get
really focused on the specific first person
trauma of the individual who experienced the
traumatic event, but wondering too, what
also is impacting them that is from
generations of whether their parents experienced
a traumatic event that was coping mechanism
was passed down or even grandparents
systemic issues that are maybe things that
we notice within societies, communities,
families that are due to generational trauma.
So I think that this understanding and
conversation and research will be very
impactful for competent -based practice and
learning how to provide the right resources.
So here are my references, the different
studies I looked at, as well as a few
of the case studies. So thank
you so much for listening.
Yeah.
