Youth Justice Transformation in Action
Essential Elements of a Trauma-Informed Juvenile Justice System (ft. Keith Cruise, PhD)
Traumatic event exposure impacts the way that the brain processes information and disrupts the body's regulation system. For youth, this can mean increased contact with the juvenile justice system. In this episode, Dr. Keith Cruise discusses different traumatic event exposures and how prevalent these occurrences are for youth in the justice system. You will hear the importance of implementing trauma screening, how trauma can change a youth’s thought and behavior pattern, and intervention strategies to better case plan for these youth.
