In a similar way, counseling offers a code of ethics, multicultural focus, and an emphasis on the best interest of clients to an activity which …

Specifically, this literature review will examine the impact of trauma and mental health disorders on creating addictive patterns. Since it is common for incarcerated women to have dual diagnoses, there is a need for effective and reachable treatment modalities when approaching incarcerated women. Much of the jail/prison sentences do not specifically address the recovery and treatment demands the women need to overcome trauma and substance use. This lack of availability typically renders …

Implementing A Trauma-Sensitive School Approach, Janelle Studnicka
Counselor Education Capstones
With the rise in awareness of adverse childhood experiences, how to handle students who have experienced trauma is a growing concern.

Schools are beginning to implement a new approach that assumes all students have experienced trauma and therefore alters the school’s policies, procedures, discipline, community collaboration, and teaching methods. Implementation of …
