Trauma is common for adults and children in the United States, and it is particularly common among justice-involved youth and adults and people with mental or substance use disorders. Also, people may experience trauma during and after disasters, including people who are incarcerated. For all of these reasons it is essential for criminal justice professionals to understand trauma, its impacts, and trauma-informed practices to work effectively with people who are incarcerated. SAMHSA’s GAINS Center offers a half-day training for criminal justice professionals on trauma-informed practices and developing trauma-informed policy and a train-the-trainer event to prepare criminal justice professionals to deliver the half-day training. Access or share the Trauma Training for Criminal Justice Professionals web page to learn about the training, find trainers in your area, or contact the SAMHSA GAINS Center about scheduling training. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/trauma?utm_source=SAMHSA&utm_campaign=0f76c8873c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_11_21_06_27_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-0096a82052-167840245
