Establishing partnerships between social workers and community-focused organizations to collaborate and implement a trauma-informed framework is an effective way to enact meso- and macro-level social change with broad interpersonal and collective implications. This presentation details a two-pronged university-community engagement and research collaboration with an urban youth digital media filmmaking program.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand the key elements of (i) trauma-informed principles and (ii) youth participatory action research as indigenous tools of advocacy and social justice;
  2. Demonstrate the ways that trauma-informed practices can be implemented in community partnerships that center non-clinical programs and power-sharing interventions with a focus on youth-centered spaces;
  3. Engage in a dynamic exploration of community partnerships that center on expanding innovative ways to address collective and historic traumatic stress through community and social work collaboration in practice and research.
