Understanding Youth Behavior Through a Trauma, Equity, and Resilience Lens

The Office of the Child Advocate has coordinated this full-day training opportunity for anyone who works in the juvenile court with a focus on delinquency and child requiring assistance cases. The goal is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to apply a trauma-responsive, developmentally-informed, equity-centered lens in your work. The training is free, each session is approved for 5.5 CLE for YAD and CAFL, and breakfast and lunch is included.
