This page collects presentations and resource libraries for my 2022-2023 training series for the Kansas Office of Judicial Administration. This five-session series first explores the basics of child trauma and toxic stress, and then situates it within three specific contests: racial discrimination and race-based traumatic stress; anti-LGBTQ discrimination and political movements; and foster care and the child welfare system. The final session considers ways to work systemically to mitigate the impacts of toxic stress and the frequency with which its sufferers and survivors are consigned to the juvenile justice system.
