The Need for Trauma–Informed Dependency Courts [CasaForChildren.org]

Samantha Sangenito 2/25/154:00 AM

J. Dean Lewis, Judge (retired)
Former Member, National CASA Association Board of Trustees
Past President, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges

hat is a trauma-informed dependency court? Why is it critical to positive outcomes for children and youth, families and caregivers, that those who participate in the dependency court systems be trained in trauma-informed care and implement trauma-informed policies, practices and services? How can judges and courts lead this effort?

Our authors will answer these questions in this issue of The Judges’ Page from the perspective of the judge, the attorney, the child and the CASA/GAL volunteer. They will provide you with research and training tools. They will share their experiences and encourage you to think of the dependency court from a totally different perspective.
