PSY376 Psychology of Trauma: Theories and Applications Group Based Assignment-01 July 2025 Presentation

Marks allocation at a glance

Note: All marks will be awarded only with the TMA/GBA submission via Turnitin.

Question 1a (40 marks)

[Time limit: 6 minutes]

You are a Psychological First Aid (PFA) provider who has been activated after an earthquake struck Taiwan, affecting a group of secondary school students on an overseas school trip.

You will work in pairs, where you will participate in two rounds of role-play with your partner. You will take turns to play the role of a Psychological First Aid (PFA) provider and an affected individual (child or parent).

a. You will receive the specific profile (child or parent) from your T-group instructor. Please keep the details of your profile to yourself. Do not share it with your partner. Please also try to bring the profile to life as best as you can during your role-play, as this can help your partner’s role-play as a provider.

b. As a provider, you will be deployed to either support the affected child (on-site in Taiwan), or their parent (on-site at Changi Airport while waiting to depart to Taiwan). Apply the principles of PFA (Look, Listen, Link) to support them as a provider. None of the affected people you will encounter have life‑threatening injuries.

Each role-play has a time limit of 6 minutes and needs to be submitted as a video recording. You will submit the video in which you played the role of the provider.

IMPORTANT: Please read the submission instructions carefully to avoid incomplete submissions.

Question 1b. (45 marks)

[Slide limit: 6 slides]

You will work in the same pairs for this question.

The role-play videos you made are a part of the training programme for new volunteers. The training programme also requires you to create a training deck of no more than 6 PowerPoint slides*.

In the slides:

Assess the similarities and differences in the acute stress reactions children and adults may exhibit after a potentially traumatic event.

(20 marks)

Illustrate using trauma-informed care principles, analyse strategies in which parents and schools can use to continue supporting children’s recovery after a potentially traumatic event.

                                                                                                                                        (25 marks)

Slides should be informative, coherent, and succinct. They should be created for the purpose of a presentation and not in the format of an essay pasted onto slides. They should also be tailored to the targeted audience (i.e., new volunteers). Design of the slides will not be graded.

IMPORTANT: Please read the submission instructions carefully to avoid incomplete submissions.

GBA Declaration Form (10 marks)

Students must submit their completed GBA declaration forms individually.

List all the tasks that you completed for this GBA and provide honest ratings of yourself and every other member on your team, based solely on the work done for this GBA. The numbering of members stated on the list in (III) of the form should be identical for all members of the group, and should include yourself. For example, in this group below of five people, all members will list Anna as #1, Benjamin as #2, Suhaila as #3 and so on. Please use full names in this list.

Ensure that you follow the numbering of members in this list when giving your ratings in the table under part (IV). Marks are awarded based on the individual’s contribution and group feedback. To gain higher marks, there must be evidence of greater contribution, which will be reflected in the group feedback.

All information provided in this declaration form will be kept confidential, and mark allocation to each individual will be based on combined feedback from all group members. This is to ensure that marks are awarded fairly in every group.

Your ratings should reflect the professional competencies of your fellow group members and should not be used as a personal attack on others. If you encounter problems within the group, the group leader should raise this with your instructor immediately so that disputes can be settled quickly and work on the assignment can progress. Do not wait until the submission or presentation day to air your grievances.
