Held virtually, Hosted and Presented by Illinois Collaboration on Youth (ICOY)
In this session, participants will examine the critical intersection between trauma and juvenile delinquency, with a primary focus on how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) influence youth behavior and involvement in the legal system. Participants will learn to identify characteristics commonly associated with “high-risk” youth while gaining practical, trauma-informed strategies for engaging and supporting this population. By the end of the training, participants will better understand how life experiences and systemic circumstances contribute to system involvement and how to effectively support youth impacted by these challenges.
