With seemingly never-ending violence, natural  disasters, and soldiers returning home from wars growing numbers of  people are suffering long lasting mental health crises. It is imperative  for clinical social workers to implement effective interventions that  address trauma and loss within families.

For this Discussion, view the Levy video.

By Day 3

Post a description of the how the trauma related  behaviors evident in the Levy video affect family interactions and the  family system. Identify the problems in this case and explain whether  these problems would best be addressed through individual treatment,  family treatment, or a combination of both. Review the literature and  recommend an evidence-based family intervention that might help Jake and  Sheri and their sons. Describe how the intervention is implemented and  its underlying theory. Explain how this intervention might help the Levy  family and ameliorate the presenting problems. Finally, describe why  you chose this intervention. Use this weeks resources or the literature  to support your conclusions.
