SJC Exchange Library

High percentages of justice-involved individuals have experienced serious trauma throughout their lifetimes. The session is an abridged training for CJ professionals to: increase understanding of trauma; create an awareness of the impact of trauma on behavior; and develop trauma-informed responses. Trauma-informed criminal justice responses can help to avoid re-traumatizing individuals, and thereby increase safety for all, decrease recidivism, and promote and support recovery of justice-involved women and men with serious mental illness.
