Understanding the Defending Childhood Initiative: Policy Implications for the Child Trauma Field

Since the Defending Childhood Initiative (DCI) was launched in 2010, the Department of Justice (DoJ) has awarded grants around the country to develop strategic plans for comprehensive community-based efforts that will further demonstrate the goals of this initiative. This webinar will guide participants in understanding the DCI and its policy implications for the child trauma field.  Presenters will discuss the history and current status of the DCI and highlight current and future practice and policy implications for those committed to addressing the needs of children and families exposed to trauma.
