Trauma & Resilience for Law Enforcement Officers - Learn More
There is a significant relationship between trauma and involvement with the legal justice system. The experience of trauma among people involved with the justice system is so prevalent it is now considered a universal experience (SAMHSA, 2018). Trauma is a predictor of delinquency, criminality, the severity of offenses, and the likelihood of re-offending. When officers have trauma-informed training – they understand the impact trauma has on behavior and the importance of protective factors and partnerships to help bridge the gap between the significant needs of youth today and the number of caring adults who know how to support them.
Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to:
- Understand trauma, past + present exposure, as well as symptoms + reactions
- Name the four main protective factors of resilient youth.
