Instructor: Marya Wright, DSW, LCSW

Tues, October 28, 2025   9AM-4PM

Location: Online via Zoom 

This 2025-updated training equips professionals with leading-edge, research-backed interventions for working effectively with youth and families involved in systems like juvenile justice, child welfare, and behavioral health. Participants will explore not only “what works,” but also how to tailor these best practices through trauma-responsive, culturally competent, and cross-system collaborative frameworks—especially valuable in the evolving landscape of child welfare and justice services. The material will be delivered by PowerPoint presentation, short video clips, group discussion, breakout (small group) discussions and participant workbook (handout).
