This Beyond the Field issue focuses on trauma and how it affects participants, why all aspects of treatment court program structure and process should be trauma-informed, and how teams can respond to support participants and improve their outcomes.
This publication includes six article summaries on Trauma-Informed Treatment Courts; trauma-specific therapies, what they are, why they are important, and who should receive those therapies; trauma-informed drug/alcohol testing, with discussion of safety, trust and transparency, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment, peer support and mutual self-help, cultural humility, and equity; trauma-informed spaces and courtrooms; what treatment courts should know about sleep, trauma, and substance use, including what sleep disorders are, how those issues are related, how to assess sleep problems, how to treat sleep disorders as they co-occur with trauma and substance use, and the role of treatment courts in addressing these issues; and the final article covers traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how people with TBI can benefit from treatment court programs.
