November 2019
The National Center for Youth Opportunity and Justice welcomes your application for one of its upcoming Train-the-Trainer (T3) events! We are accepting applications from professionals interested in becoming a certified trainer in the following curricula:
• Mental Health Training for Juvenile Justice (MHT-JJ)
• Crisis Intervention Teams for Youth (CIT-Y)
Juvenile justice staff members are responsible for the day-to-day care of a large population of youth, many of whom are experiencing behavioral health conditions or traumatic stress reactions. Juvenile justice involvement can exacerbate a youth’s condition, creating a more difficult situation for both the youth and juvenile justice staff.
Trainers who attend an MHT-JJ T3 will:
• Increase their knowledge of adolescent development, child trauma, and adolescent behavioral health conditions;
• Develop an understanding of how these issues may affect youth-staff interactions; and
• Enhances skills that support effective and safe interactions between youth and staff.
