This article introduces a Social Work Model of Historical Trauma. The model draws from social work perspectives (ecosystems theory and the life model, human rights philosophy, race-based traumatic stress injury theory and attachment theory), disparities research, social work issues and policy statements, social work ethics and epigenetics. Assessment and intervention in micro, mezzo and macro domains are discussed. The article concludes with a case vignette and model application
