In this provocative virtual training event, Dr. Constance West and Dr. Cirecie-West-Olatunji (of CRESTSprogram, LLC) will provide an overview of current research findings on the neuroscience of trauma in Black youth. Drs. West and West-Olatunji will incorporate the use of case studies from their work across settings (i.e., academia, clinical practice, juvenile justice, etc.) to infuse real-life examples into the research findings.

Participants will enhance their knowledge about this important topic, and learn about culture-centered, trauma-informed interventions that can be useful to counteract the effects of trauma on Black youth.
