How Being Trauma Informed Improves the Criminal Justice System
Program Description
SAMHSA’s GAINS Center for Behavioral Health and Justice Transformation, operated by Policy Research Associates, Inc., is known nationally for its work in regard to people with mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders involved in the criminal justice system.
Overview
Although prevalence estimates vary, there is consensus that high percentages of justice involved women and men have experienced serious trauma throughout their lifetime. The reverberating effects of traumatic experiences can challenge a person’s capacity for recovery and pose significant barriers to accessing services, often resulting in an increased risk of coming into contact with the criminal justice system.
​
Objectives
• How Being Trauma-Informed Improves Criminal Justice System Responses is a workshop for criminal justice professionals to:
• Increase understanding and awareness of the impact of trauma
• Develop trauma-informed responses, and
• Provide strategies for developing and implementing trauma-informed policies.
Trauma-informed criminal justice responses can help to avoid re-traumatizing individuals, and thereby increase safety for all, decrease recidivism, and promote and support recovery of justice-involved women and men with serious mental illness. Partnerships across systems can also help to link individuals to trauma-informed services and treatment for trauma.
