FREE Trauma-informed Train-theTrainer Opportunity for Your Court!
Deadline 11/18
The National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) is pleased to share with you an exciting professional train-the-trainer opportunity focused on developing trauma-informed responses to justice-involved adult men and women. This opportunity is offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) GAINS Center for Behavioral Health and Justice Transformation.
This free event will equip professionals with the necessary skills to develop trauma-informed responses in their communities. Trauma-informed care is an approach used to engage people with histories of trauma. It recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role that trauma can play in people’s lives. Trauma-informed criminal justice responses can help avoid re-traumatizing individuals, which increases safety for all, decreases the likelihood of criminal recidivism, and supports the recovery of justice-involved women and men with serious mental illness.
