ABOUT THIS COURSE This course offers a unique opportunity for HA20 2nd Year Students and HA52 3rd Year Students to dive into a thought-provoking and essential topic: Children in Troubled Families. Whether you're taking this course as a requirement or as an elective, you’ll embark on a journey to explore the complex realities that children face when living in difficult, often heart-wrenching, circumstances. Throughout this course, you’ll gain a deep understanding of key definitions, concepts, and theories that help explain the struggles these children experience. We will uncover the psychological, mental, and emotional challenges they endure, and explore real-world issues that continue to affect children living with disadvantaged families or in troubled environments. You will be introduced to a variety of critical topics, such as how these conditions impact both children and their families, and you’ll engage in discussions that focus on the why and how behind these situations. What forces drive these family challenges? What ripple effects do they create on the children’s lives? This course doesn’t just focus on the problems—it’s also about solutions. Together, we will brainstorm and discuss practical ways to minimize the negative impacts these circumstances can have on children. Expect a mix of in-depth theory, real-world examples, and solution-based discussions to empower you to understand and, perhaps, influence positive change for children in troubled families.
