I am excited to have the opportunity to study abroad in Ireland over spring break, where I will be learning about historical trauma and how events from the past can continue to affect individuals, families, and communities today. As a social work student, this experience will allow me to connect what I have learned in the classroom to real-world history and better understand how trauma can be passed down through generations. I hope this trip will help me grow both personally and professionally and give me a deeper understanding of the importance of trauma-informed social work. The cost of studying abroad can be a challenge, so I am raising money to help cover the expenses of this trip. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean so much to me and help make this incredible learning opportunity possible. Thank you for supporting me and helping me take this next step in my education!
