Trauma Informed Responses to Violence & EJUSA's Police/Community Initiative

Violence has severely damaged the lives of millions of people. Our nation’s responses to violence, including mass incarceration and overpolicing, have in turn inflicted further harm. EJUSA’s Police/Community Trauma Program brings together police officers and community members for dialogue and learning about trauma, racism, and the justice system. This webinar will share lessons from our work with police to explore how trauma impacts constituencies across the justice system, how those working for criminal justice reform can advocate for the needs of trauma survivors, and how a framework of trauma can bridge divides and build powerful new opportunities for system transformation.
