Trauma Responsive Practices for Family Law Practitioners and Judges
Judges, attorneys, and mental health practitioners must have a shared understanding of trauma and how it affects the behavior of the youth and families involved in the court system. It is essential that they also have the capacity to respond effectively to victims of trauma by creating a healing environment that promotes safety, agency, and meaningful social connections. Learn about the The Trauma-Informed Courtroom Practices Bench Card created by the National Council of Juvenile & Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ), and how trauma-responsive practices can support clients navigating complex domestic and juvenile cases.
