dc.description.abstractIn order to address trauma among youth in the juvenile justice system, as well as those at risk for justice involvement, systems must engage in quality, meaningful collaboration to restore youths’ faith in societal institutions as sources of protection and support. This paper describes a selection of trauma-informed collaborations that occur across the nation among stakeholders in juvenile justice, child welfare, schools, and mental health to assist youth in the juvenile justice system or those at risk for justice involvement. These collaborations include the Georgetown University Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM), Trauma Systems Therapy (TST), the Positive Student Engagement Model for School Policing, the Child Development Community Policing (CDCP) Program, and the Stark County Traumatized Child Task Force. This paper describes tools that have been developed to support these cross-system collaborations and are central to developing a common understanding of trauma and how to address it across systems and disciplines. Themes that are identified as key ingredients in successful cross-system collaboration include effective leadership, engagement of stakeholders, development of shared goals, and evaluation of collaborative projects. The paper concludes with a summary of lessons learned from these programs, including the challenges inherent in taking locally successful trauma-informed interventions to scale nationally.en_US
