Why Did They Do That? Understanding and Developing Trauma Informed Practices in Jails

Jails are dynamic places. Jail staff deal with people during their most vulnerable and chaotic moments – many of them reeling from recent and historic trauma. Having an understanding of trauma and how it affects both incarcerated people and staff can help jail professionals to navigate the challenges they face. During this webinar, participants will learn about the basics of the neurobiology of trauma and how the impact of trauma can be seen in all areas of jail operations.
