"Defense attorneys play a crucial role in advancing trauma-informed client relationships, advocating for their client’s expressed interests, and achieving client success. Trauma-informed systems are structured with an understanding of the causes and effects of traumatic experiences and incorporate practices that support recovery, resilience, and youth success. By enhancing the lawyer’s ability to recognize the impact of trauma and respond appropriately, while also avoiding legal practices that may re-traumatize youth and their families, trauma-informed legal representation can improve outcomes for juvenile clients.”
