SAMHSA’s GAINS Center has selected 13 awardees for its Train-the-Trainer (TTT) workshops and is combining multiple sites to host nine TTT events on its How Being Trauma Informed Improves Criminal Justice System Responses curriculum. TTT events equip criminal justice system professionals with tools to increase their understanding of trauma, creates an awareness of the impact of trauma on behavior, and guides the development of a plan to embed trauma-informed responses into policies and procedures to improve responses to individuals with histories of justice involvement.
