Becoming Trauma Informed: An Essential Element for Justice Settings Webinar Series
This is a Series of three Webinars: These webinars will be recorded and made available on the NIC website. Each of the webinar events contain valuable information regarding trauma in justice-involved populations, but participation in each event in sequence is not required. Please note that registering for the first event scheduled for October 26, does not include registration for the two subsequent events; November 2 and November 9. A separate email will publicize that event, and a seperate registration will be required for each webinar, as content will be different. Participants who are unable to log on for each event, can access the webinar recordings for all of the webinars in the series when posted.
Webinar Summary:
With increased awareness of the effects of
stress, adversity, and trauma on people’s lives, criminal justice professionals
are considering what this means in their correctional settings. There is
growing evidence of the effects of child neglect and abuse (as well as other
forms of traumatic stress) on the health, mental health, and behavior of men
and women residing in jails and prisons. While research and clinical experience
indicate that there is a high incidence of trauma and co-occurring problems
among these groups, corrections professionals struggle to provide them with
effective management and services. It is particularly challenging when many
institutions have staff who are affected by trauma in their personal and work
lives. Organizational stress and trauma create additional challenges in the
environment and culture of the workplace. Moving from trauma informed to trauma
responsive to implement trauma-informed care can be challenging. The webinar
speakers have extensive experience in delivering trauma informed education and
services to the men and women in the custody of the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation as well as other state and local agencies
nationally. This webinar series guides administrators and correctional staff
through the process and will provide updated information and research.
Webinar Objectives:
The primary goals of
this three-part webinar series are to:
- Provide criminal justice, mental health, and substance use treatment professionals with up-to-date information regarding trauma-informed care within the criminal justice system.
- Provide information on the lifelong effects of trauma, recovery needs, and implementation of trauma-focused treatment interventions (including research findings).
- Provide an outline for the process of becoming a trauma-informed organization.
Moderators/Speakers
- Maureen Buell, Correctional Program Specialist, National Institute of Corrections
- Stephanie Covington, Ph.D., LCSW, Co-Director, Center for Gender and Justice
- Nena Messina, Ph.D., Research Criminologist at UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs and President of Envisioning Justice Solutions, Inc.
Who Should Attend?
A wide audience can
benefit from the webinar series including criminal justice officials, treatment
program personnel, county and state mental health and social service
professionals. The three-part program is also beneficial to existing treatment
programs seeking to increase staff skills on gender-responsive and
trauma-informed interventions in prisons, jails, and community corrections.
Correctional staff may also benefit from the training to increase their
understanding of the complex issues surrounding the supervision of incarcerated
men and women with histories of trauma and abuse, as well as the potential
effect of trauma on themselves.

How Do I Participate
Effectively In a WebEx Event Center Webinar? How Do I Get Ready?
For the best experience in
your next NIC WebEx Event Center webinar, you’ll need a hands-free telephone,
headset or earbuds, and an internet-enabled computer. For optimum learning, be
in a quiet place, free from distractions/interruptions, sight-and-sound
separated from others, where you can concentrate on what is happening during
the webinar. A separate office space with a door to close is an ideal setting.
Connect to the webinar audio bridge via a hands-free telephone, using
earbuds/headset connected to your phone/cell phone, so your hands are free to
interact with your keyboard.
While tablets and smartphones are also compatible with WebEx Event Center, several of the features are limited, and most devices require that the Cisco WebEx app is installed. Regardless of which device you plan to use, test its compatibility here. This is a quick test, and we strongly encourage you to do this before the webinar. If your browser does not pass the test, contact WebEx Technical Support at 1-877-669-1782 and tell them you will be attending an NIC webinar on NIC’s WebEx site at http://nicmeetings.webex.com . They can help you troubleshoot connectivity issues.
NIC strongly recommends consulting with your agency/local IT , as you may encounter pop-up blocking and/or firewall issues that block the NIC WebEx webinar URL.
