MJI?offers webinar on
‘Trauma-Informed Care for Youth’


The Michigan Judicial Institute will present a webinar on “Beyond the Buzzword: Trauma-Informed Care for Youth (and Ourselves)” on Tuesday, Nov. 4, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

The significance of trauma on youth and importance of trauma informed care (TIC) are commonly raised in discussions of practice, yet there is still confusion about what this really means in the context of juvenile justice.  

Expanding evidence from child development, immunology and neuroscience links the early experience of adversities with subsequent impacts on health, academic achievement, court involvement and mental illness. 

Speaking at the webinar will be Dr. Heather Forkey, a professor of Pediatrics at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, and vice-chair of Pediatrics and Director of the Foster Children Evaluation Service of the UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center.

The webinar’s intended audience includes juvenile probation officers, caseworkers and staff providing ancillary services to court-involved youth.
