A panel presented at the 2021 OJJDP Tribal Youth Virtual National Conference. Research suggests that Native American youth are at increased risk of trauma, depression, and PTSD as a result of grief and exposure to violence which can lead to relationship problems, drug and alcohol abuse, violent behavior, suicide and depression, problems in school, and bullying and victimization. National Native Children’s Trauma Center provides training in evidence-based and promising practices as well as technical assistance in trauma-informed systems change across all tribal child-serving systems, including schools, behavioral health providers, child welfare agencies, and juvenile justice systems. The National Native Children’s Trauma Center also assists in the cultural adaptation of evidence-based and promising practices and develop products and practices intended for use in Native communities. This panel provided an opportunity for attendees to hear more about their work and to ask questions that may have been generated throughout the conference.
