Understanding Trauma with Youth in the Juvenile Justice System

Klasey Consulting is partnering with Lincoln Families to bring this training to Alameda, Solano, Mendocino, Lake, Contra Costa, Humboldt, Tuolumne and Calaveras providers.Black and brown students are disproportionately pushed out of the public school system and funneled into the criminal justice system. System-involved youth are at particular risk. It is essential for social service providers to learn about this topic to advocate and support youth and families impacted by this issue.

The learning objectives for the training include:

1. Participants will be able to describe the school to prison pipeline

2.Participants will be able to identify at least one risk factor for youth being funneled into the criminal justice system.

3.Participants will be able to identify at least one strategy to prevent youth from being funneled into the criminal justice system
