For a decade, the Center for Trauma Recovery and Juvenile Justice has led conversations on the necessity of trauma-informed care for youth involved with the juvenile justice system. Now, the conversation has shifted.
Most in the field no longer need to be convinced that a trauma-informed approach is necessary. How then do we take what we know about the prevalence of trauma for justice-involved youth and collaborate to respond to trauma across the entire system?
In this episode, Dr. Amanda Zelechoski visits a juvenile detention facility to speak with youth about their experiences and give them a direct line to share what they want to see change in the system. You’ll also hear from several professionals working in and alongside the system highlighting why change is necessary and how change is possible.
