SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | When Trauma Meets the Courtroom: A Call for Compassionate Justice for Children and Families
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nIn this webinar\, national consultants and trauma expert Becky Haas will explore what trauma is\, how to identify it\, and why the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study remains so significant today. \nShe’ll discuss the widespread impact of trauma on justice-involved individuals and their families—and how creating safe\, compassionate environments can help prevent re-traumatization\, which is essential for healing and recovery. \nJustice and child-welfare professionals who understand the connection between trauma and substance use disorders are better equipped to provide interventions that support long-term stability—not just for adults\, but also for the children whose lives are shaped by their caregivers’ justice involvement. \nBecause justice shouldn’t compound harm—it should work toward true rehabilitation and healing. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training meets all essential training components in the 2023 National Children’s Alliance (NCA) Standard of Victim Advocacy and has been approved by the NCA. \nFirst Witness Child Advocacy Center’s advocacy program bridges the gap between individual advocacy with one victim and system-based advocacy that creates change for many victims.

SUMMARY:First Witness | What Children Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Asking Questions
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training examines how children remember and recall experiences\, with a focus on applying research to investigative interviews with children. Participants will learn how factors like age\, development\, trauma\, and cognitive ability influence memory\, and how memory can be both reliable and vulnerable to suggestion. We’ll explore common misconceptions\, the effects of stress\, and the critical role that questioning plays. Research shows that poorly worded or leading questions can distort a child’s memory\, while open-ended\, trauma-informed approaches help elicit accurate and detailed accounts. This training is ideal for professionals in child protection\, forensic interviewing\, law enforcement\, and mental health who want to better understand and support how children recall and share their experiences. \nRegister Through First Witness

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Supporting Kids Traumatized in the Criminal Justice and Social Services System
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nYouth 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?) \nDrawing 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. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | From Compliance to Commitment: Motivating without Micromanaging
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nHave you ever wondered why some agencies attract and retain dedicated staff while others face ongoing turnover? When asked about their most pressing challenges\, many criminal justice and public safety leaders point to recruitment and retention as top concerns. So\, what makes one agency more desirable than another? While many factors come into play\, one of the most frequently cited in culture\, climate\, and employee satisfaction surveys is how leaders lead. Public safety professionals consistently highlight the importance of having an effective working relationship with their supervisor. But how do we actually achieve that? \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Ed Sherman will outline strategies for engaging staff as active\, valued participants in developing best practices and collaborative problem-solving—while still meeting essential goals around accountability and productivity. He’ll share how a thoughtful combination of communication\, evaluation\, implementation\, and assessment can foster a work environment built on trust\, satisfaction\, and meaningful performance—leading to stronger outcomes and greater longevity. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n
