About this event
This webinar, hosted by the National District Attorney’s Association (NDAA), will discuss various aspects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among rural youth, providing perspectives from public health researchers and system-involved youth service providers. The presentation will include an overview of the research on ACEs among youth in detention and ways to counteract or build resiliency to ACEs, focusing on rural youth. It will also include presentations from system-involved youth service providers on how to address common challenges in rural jurisdictions.
Learning objectives:
Inform juvenile justice stakeholders about the type of ACEs in rural youth and the high rate of high ACE scores in rural youth, and the particularly high ACE rates among American Indian/Alaskan Native youth.
Recognizing the intersection between criminal justice systems and high ACE scores, inform stakeholders of positive, resiliency measures that are working in other rural communities.
Provide advice to juvenile justice stakeholders about addressing common issues in rural jurisdictions, provide resources, and list of ideas of what could work in their communities both upstream (preventative) of system-involvement and downstream (after system involvement)
