In this Justice Clearinghouse webinar, Becky Haas, national consultant and trauma expert, will explore what trauma is, how to identify it and why the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study remains so significant today. She will discuss the widespread impact of trauma on justice-involved individuals and their families—and how creating safe, compassionate environments can help prevent re-traumatization, which is essential for healing and recovery.
Justice and child-welfare professionals who understand the connection between trauma and substance use disorders are better equipped to provide interventions that support long-term stability—not just for adults, but also for the children whose lives are shaped by their caregivers’ justice involvement.
