Abstract

ABSTRACT Approximately one in three women in the United States have experienced sexual trauma. The impact of sexual trauma is of significant concern as women account for a majority of social workers (NASW, 2020). This research addresses the unique experiences of social work students as they relate to sexual trauma and self-care practices and perceptions. Following sexual trauma, students report their self-care perception as a journey that spans practices including substance use, grounding activities, and physical activity. Findings signal an opportunity for support from higher educational institutions to address wellness amongst students with sexual trauma histories.
