Trauma-Informed Pedagogy
Students from three Canadian universities (University of Calgary, University of Manitoba, University of Waterloo) participated in focus group interviews to share their experiences of how traumatic content was addressed in social work schools and their perceptions of trauma-informed pedagogy. In the focus groups, student participants were given a definition/description of trauma-informed pedagogy and then they were asked to share their perceptions…
Considerations for Spiritually Integrated Cognitive Processing Therapy (SICPT) for PTSD and Posttraumatic Growth in Survivors of Interpersonal Trauma
Spirituality in social work practice
Recent scholarship questions the concept of practitioners addressing spirituality in social work practice arguing, for instance, that social workers should not conduct spiritual assessments. This article responds to these criticisms. Employing a modified domain-based review of the relevant literature, this article contends that addressing spirituality is an essential component of ethical and effective service provision. Findings To support the no…
Introduction to the Special Issue ‘Spirituality, Resilience, and Posttraumatic Growth’
Spirituality is increasingly recognized as a vital aspect of human experience across the lifespan, contributing to positive development, well-being, resilience, and strength, and uniquely facilitating posttraumatic growth (PTG) [...]
Establishing spirituality competencies in social work
A Spiritually Integrated Approach to Trauma, Grief, and Loss
Exposure to trauma, grief, and loss (TGL) can elicit spiritual pondering and meaning making, which can manifest as unsettled spiritual rumination or evolve into spiritual growth and transcendence. Incorporating a spiritually informed approach with TGL survivors invites spiritual interaction between the individual and professional helper to move beyond the trauma story and influences toward hope and possibility. This approach benefits survivors an…
Pulled from the Shoreline in Search of Spacious Spirituality
Religion and spirituality (R/S) provide possibilities for healing, resilience, meaning making, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in the aftermath of trauma. Still, R/S may also be the precursors and/or sources of harm, resulting in experiences of spiritual distress (SD). While extensive research has examined the positive mental health impacts of R/S, its potential harms are under-investigated. Addressing this gap, this article draws on findings from…
Co-Creating Authentic Sacred Therapeutic Space
Social work values client-centered holistic approaches of care, yet there is a lack of approaches addressing spirituality in counselling with children. Children's spirituality and conceptualization have been disenfranchised. Children's spiritual experiences, ways of knowing and perceptions are important to attend to when supporting them through an impactful life event such as trauma, grief, or loss (TGL). Parents may not fully understand or have …
Conclusion
Research and practice evidence supports growing opinion that spirituality is an important component of human life across the lifespan. While emerging work is beginning to shed light on the importan

The HEALTHY Group
Anxiety and depression are complex mental health concerns affecting adolescents, and when experienced together the prognosis can be worsened. Current evidence based approaches used in social work interventions include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical therapy, and counselling incorporating psychotherapy and psychoeducation, however they do not work for all individuals and they are not holistic. This paper argues that spirituality is a mis…
Children’s spirituality
Children’s spirituality is a rising area of importance in research within other helping disciplines, which social work should attend to. Epistemology is an important element of research that is often difficult to discern. This article discusses the different epistemological paradigms and identifies pertinent theories in relation to some of the significant studies on spirituality in preadolescent children. There is a lack of valid and reliable sca…
Spirituality and Transcendent Meaning Making
Traditionally, in the field of trauma, the emphasis has been on loss and suffering rather than growth and possibility. While the experience of loss and suffering is true for many trauma survivors, especially during the initial phase of trauma exposure, recent research has demonstrated that sole concentration on these constructs is ineffective in promoting growth and understanding. This article focuses on the benefits of attention to the spiritual…
