Building Cultures of Safety: Trauma-Responsive Leadership Across the Juvenile Justice System and Foundations of Trauma-Informed Leadership
Virtual Workshop
March 31, 2026
9:00 am – 11:00 am

The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC) is presenting a training opportunity with William Kellibrew for professional development designed to earn training credits while strengthening skills and knowledge.

This workshop establishes a shared understanding of trauma’s impact within juvenile justice settings and its influence on behavior, staff dynamics, and leadership responses. Participants will examine the core principles of trauma-informed and trauma-responsive practices while reflecting on their own leadership styles, stress reactions, and organizational culture. Through guided discussions and case examples, participants will begin developing strategies to promote safety, trust, and resilience across teams.

Register here for the virtual workshop.

Please contact RCPA Policy Associate Emma Sharp with any questions.

With support from the Preschool Development Grant, the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) is supporting a training initiative to help build a cross-disciplinary workforce across Pennsylvania that understands very young children’s mental health and development and can provide better, more informed support to families and caregivers.

You, or a Children First PA representative(s) of your choosing, are invited to participate in an upcoming DC:0–5™: Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood Overview webinar. This 90-minute session is designed for policy leaders, advocates, and human services administrators who play a pivotal role in shaping systems that support the mental health and well-being of our youngest children.

About the Training:

The DC:0–5™ framework provides a developmentally sensitive approach to understanding and classifying mental health and developmental disorders in children from birth through age five. The overview will:

  • Introduce the purpose and structure of the DC:0–5™;
  • Highlight its role in transforming early identification and intervention practices; and
  • Explore implications for policy, advocacy, and service delivery.

Why Your Participation Matters:

Your leadership and expertise are essential in ensuring that policies and programs reflect the latest understanding of infant/early childhood mental health. By engaging in this training, you will be better equipped to:

  • Inform policy decisions with evidence-based practices;
  • Strengthen cross-sector collaboration; and
  • Support equitable access to infant/early childhood mental health services and supports.

DATE: February 18, 2026, from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm EST

We look forward to your participation in this important conversation and to working together to advance the well-being of young children and their families.  If you cannot attend this session, there will be additional opportunities in 2027, as this initiative also includes a Training of Trainers strategy.
