Session Description: This session provides an overview of the familial and societal context that leads to Tribal youth’s coping behavior when dealing with trauma. Participants will better understand the behaviors that Tribal youth develop to survive traumatic events, and what happens when these ways of coping are no longer appropriate. There will be an introduction to Adverse Childhood Experiences and the impact they have on youth’s expectations. Participants will also learn about positive coping strategies and trauma-informed safety planning. This is the third module adapted from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network’s curriculum, Think Trauma: A training for working with justice-involved youth. Any professional working with justice-involved Tribal youth and their families will benefit from understanding how people and institutions around youth can make it easier or more difficult for them to recover from the impact of trauma. The goal is to provide professionals with the skills to respond appropriately to traumatized, justice-involved Tribal youth. Participants are not required to attend all sessions.
