How might a psychoeducational intervention be applied to a spike in stress-related counselor referrals for a female residential facility on a college campus following a high-profile campus rape case?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: First, the social worker should be familiar with normal stages of human development for 18-20-year-old young adults, including issues for those living away from home of origin for the first time. Further, the social worker should be knowledgeable or receive training in conceptualizing rape as an act of violence and control. After assessing the residents for stress levels and immediate fears, the social worker would convene an educational group process that addresses key personal concerns, relevant issues, training in safety strategies and stress-reduction techniques, and exploring available resources. This group process may assist the members in developing positive coping skills, both short- and long-term.
