Summary/Abstract: This article presents basic concepts related to trauma and the role of social work in supporting traumatized individuals. The primary goal of the study was to explore the opinions and experiences of social workers in working with individuals experiencing trauma. The study highlighted the most frequently used methods and forms of support, the difficulties encountered by social workers, inter-agency collaboration, and the needs and training of social workers in working with traumatized individuals. Empirical material was collected using a proprietary survey questionnaire consisting of 19 questions and a personal profile. The sample was purposive. 105 respondents participated in the survey. All respondents were social workers employed in various social welfare institutions who had professional experience with individuals with traumatic experiences. The study results identified, among other things, the difficulties social workers encounter in working with traumatized individuals and highlighted the needs of social workers. The research highlighted the need for further training in this area and emphasized its importance for social work. Specialized training would improve the overall work with people with traumatic experiences.
