Trauma and Juvenile Delinquency
In this session, participants will examine the critical intersection between trauma and juvenile delinquency, with a primary focus on how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) influence youth behavior and involvement in the legal system. Participants will learn to identify characteristics commonly associated with “high-risk” youth while gaining practical, trauma-informed strategies for engaging and supporting this population. By the end of the training, participants will better understand how life experiences and systemic circumstances contribute to system involvement and how to effectively support youth impacted by these challenges. Two and a half Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW, LCSW, LPC, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.
