B4: National Native Children’s Trauma Center (NNCTC) – Session 1: Trauma and Justice Involvement

Session Description: Participants will learn how exposure to trauma and historical trauma can affect the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of Tribal youth in the juvenile justice system. The aim is to understand the key terms of trauma, resilience, and recovery and learn how to view the behaviors of Tribal youth through a trauma-informed lens. This is the first module adapted from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network’s curriculum, Think Trauma: A training for working with justice-involved youth. Any professional who works with justice-involved Tribal youth and their families will benefit from this introduction to trauma and trauma-informed care. The goal is to educate professionals about the impact of trauma so that they may have the knowledge necessary to respond appropriately to traumatized justice-involved Tribal youth. Participants are not required to attend all sessions.
