Trauma Within Trauma: Psychosocial and Clinical Understandings of the Climate and Environmental Crisis

This introductory online workshop will provide an overview of the climate and environmental emergency (CEE), with particular emphasis on pertinent mental health and psychosocial impacts within it. We will describe ways that poor, marginalized and BIPOC communities have been disproportionately affected by climate and environmental disruptions, while contributing the least to these problems. Utilizing a trauma lens, we will discuss various distress responses, including pre-traumatic, post-traumatic and pervasive traumatic stress and ways to think about working clinically with these responses. In addition, we will look at the amplifying impact of additional individual, intergenerational and communal trauma, as well as embedded psychosocial factors such as systemic racism and unequal access to care. We will discuss various psychological defenses against knowing the magnitude of this existential threat and will help participants consider their own emotional responses to the CEE through an experiential exercise. Finally, we will discuss important ways to foster emotional resilience in the face of this enormous problem.

A Silver Education

Providing a lifeline for survivors of gender-based violence.

As the CEO of Womankind, a nonprofit with deep community roots that provides multilingual and culturally-responsive services and advocacy for survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking, Yasmeen Hamza is fulfilling her passion for working with marginalized survivors of gender-based violence.

What’s Next in Your Journey?

Master of social work.

Our MSW program provides outstanding training in clinical social work practice. Our curriculum, which is infused with a global perspective, focuses on social and economic justice and emphasizes links between theory and practice, research and policy.

Exploring Social Work

Both our in-person Non-Matriculated and our fully-online ONRAMP options enable students to explore social work and experience NYU Silver’s rigorous coursework without being admitted to our MSW program.

Bachelor of Science

Our BS in social work program teaches a set of skills that are centered around making human connections, problem-solving, leadership, advocacy, human rights, interprofessional collaboration, and social and economic justice.

Doctorate in Clinical Social Work

Our DSW program prepares licensed social workers for leadership roles in academic and agency settings. This executive-style program is designed to enhance students’ clinical knowledge as it pertains to advances in theoretical and practice models, clinical research, and policies that directly impact practice.

Doctor of Philosophy

Our PhD program provides the rigorous methodological, conceptual, and statistical research training critical for careers as independent researchers, scholars, and educators. Graduates are competitively positioned to address contemporary global social welfare challenges at top-tier research-intensive institutions.

Continuing Education

Our post-master's programs, including certificate programs, workshops, seminars, and online modules, provide advanced learning opportunities encompassing theoretical and evidence-based practice models for social work and related health professionals.

By being part of the Silver Affinity Collective, I learned how to look out for my peers, hold space for each other’s experiences, and to come together and learn from each other.

The NYU Silver Classroom Experience

What is it like to earn your MSW at NYU Silver? Recent graduates describe the classroom experience in their own words.

Sharing Global Experiences and Opportunities

NYU Silver's Office of Inclusive Engagement and Student Life and Office of Global and Lifelong Learning recently collaborated on “Where in the World?” a pop-up event in our Washington Square lobby to raise awareness of our global learning opportunities and celebrate the diverse geographic backgrounds of our student body. Students used colorful flags on a world map to indicate where they are from as well as where they have traveled to while learning about our study away courses.

Some Journeys Take Surprising Turns

A conversation with a homeless neighbor changed the course of Adina Lichtman’s career

Humanizing Homelessness One Sock at a Time

My Work I lead a nonprofit that encourages companies, campuses, and communities to host sock drives for their homeless neighbors, and then offers them the opportunity to host a dinner as well with the aim of breaking stigmas while breaking bread.

My Journey During my Sophomore year as the Community Service Chair for Hillel, I was giving out sandwiches to people experiencing homelessness. One of the men said what he and other homeless people could really use are socks. I got a pair from my dorm room and then knocked on every door on my floor to get 40 more pairs. From there, Knock Knock Give a Sock was born.

At Silver, I’ve been pushed to reconsider the world I’ve always lived in but have only just begun to learn about through the lens of social justice and service. My social work education continues to be a challenging and invigorating process that I’m grateful for daily.

From Victim of Mass Incarceration to Criminal Justice Reformer

My Work After three years as Community Affairs Liaison for The Doe Fund, I am continuing to advocate for criminal justice reform full-time through my leadership of Social Justice Network, as well as my teaching, speaking, writing, and producing.

My Journey I started my academic career earning my GED at Marion Correctional Institution. With the support of a social worker at The Doe Fund, I graduated from Bronx Community College. I went on to earn my BS and MSW from NYU Silver, where I received the Excellence in Leadership Award and NASW-NYC’s Student of the Year Award.

A Close, Supportive Community

The classes and the career skills I gained helped to fuel my passion, while the people I interacted with helped enrich my academic experience. At NYU, I did not feel like a number but a significant person that can actively contribute to society.

Vibrant campuses in NYC, Rockland, Westchester, and Shanghai

At all of our locations, you'll find supportive academic communities grounded in the values of service, compassion, inclusion, and social justice
