Assignment task:
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources on the physiological response to trauma and fight, flight, or freeze.
Access and navigate to your selected case in the Case Studies interactive media in the Learning Resources.
Analyze the symptoms experienced by the social worker in your chosen case study. Consider whether they fall into the category of fight, flight, or freeze and the extent to which the social worker is experiencing any long-term effects.
Review the Kaltura section of the Classroom Support Center, accessed via the Help button (the i icon) on the left-hand global navigation menu, for information on recording and submitting media for this Assignment.
Ensure that you have a quiet place to record without any distractions.
Record and submit a 2- to 3-minute Kaltura video in which you speak directly to your chosen social worker. In your video:
Describe the typical fight, flight, and freeze responses.
Explain which response the social worker appears to be experiencing, based on their symptoms and behaviors.
Describe typical long-term physical and mental health effects of repeated exposure to trauma.
Explain the extent to which the social worker in your selected case study is experiencing these long-term effects.
Be sure to use the social worker's name so that your Instructor understands whom you have selected.
Include a transcript and/or edit closed captioning on your video to ensure that your presentation is accessible to colleagues of differing abilities.
