Addressing trauma among US military-connected populations can be complex and layered, however, it is imperative to facilitate their wellbeing, functionality, and continued service. Shared trauma is a novel phenomenon among social workers, and may have relevance to the military context. Innovative approaches in social work are necessary to enhance provider’s awareness of addressing shared trauma. We propose an innovative learning activity that incorporates the use of the film, Top Gun: Maverick, to reveal sophisticated understandings about shared trauma among military-connected populations. Since this activity has not been formally tested, educators should assess its impact on practice with military-connected populations
