Creating a More Trauma-Informed Court System in NC

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) — such as maltreatment, poverty, family violence, racism and discrimination — can have a profoundly negative impact on children, increasing the likelihood that they will end up in the criminal justice system. To address this issue, NC Chief Justice Paul Newby created the Chief Justice's Task Force on ACEs-Informed Courts in May 2021. The mission of the ACEs Task Force is to equip court officials and other justice system stakeholders to better recognize and address the ways in which exposure to childhood trauma and ACEs impacts individuals within our court system, particularly children.

This session discusses how the ACEs Task Force is working to create a more trauma-informed court system that can help support children impacted by ACEs and prevent them from becoming entangled in the criminal justice system.
