Exploring trauma-informed care with the Acquired Brain Injury and Concussion Services program

Abstract

This report focuses on what I learned about trauma and acquired brain injuries during my Master of Social Work (MSW) practicum at Acquired Brain Injury and Concussion Services withFraser Health Authority (FHA) located in Langley, British Columbia. This in-depth and unique practicum allowed me to practice independently as a MSW student and utilize my clinical practice skills. In addition to highlighting the role of social workers within interdisciplinary teams and delivering services within the healthcare system. The practicum provided the opportunity to explore the experiences of practicing social work within community health settings and compare my experiences to acute social work.
