Training Overview
Youth involved in the criminal justice or child welfare system often carry deep trauma—and while therapy is frequently mandated, frontline providers are rarely given the guidance or tools to ensure those services are effective. This webinar explores the behavioral health needs of justice- and system-involved youth, offering practical insights to help professionals understand what real trauma-informed care looks like. (Did you know effective therapy should have a clear end goal—and that a good therapist should be able to tell you what that is in the first session?)
Drawing on examples from both juvenile justice and foster care systems—including tools like the NCTSN’s Think Trauma curriculum and work from the Drug Endangered Child Alliance—this session delivers concrete tips, frameworks, and direction for those working directly with vulnerable youth.
