One resource that I highlighted to be helpful is the SAMHSA Concept of Trauma and Guidance for a Trauma-Informed Approach. This resource was developed to create a thorough comprehension of trauma and a universally accepted and applicable trauma-informed approach across diverse service systems and stakeholder groups and is invaluable to those who work in the mental health field.

We also watched a documentary chosen by us. The documentary I chose to watch was "We are Columbine." Watching the documentary "We Are Columbine" provided a profound insight into the enduring impact of trauma. Through intimate interviews with survivors, the film showed raw emotions while partipants recounted their personal experiences with the tragedy. It was eye-opening to see the diverse responses to trauma between the survivors, from heightened vigilance to struggles with depression and avoidance behaviors. The documentary highlighted the significant academic, social, and emotional impacts they endured, including altered career paths and media scrutiny. Despite the school's efforts to provide counseling, many of the participants found it challenging to engage with therapeutic interventions. The film also depicted changes in school policies and environments post-tragedy, showing how it impacted the school community. As a future LPC, I recognize the importance of developing tailored treatment plans for survivors, incorporating trauma-focused therapies and collaborating with other professionals and support systems to facilitate healing and resilience. Ultimately, the documentary showed the resilience and strength within each survivor.
