Organizational Assessment and Trauma Training for Ohio Department of Youth Services
Aurrera Health Group worked with the Ohio Department of Youth Services (DYS) to assess the strengths and opportunities related to building a healing-centered, trauma-responsive agency. DYS is the juvenile corrections system for the state of Ohio and serves youth who have been adjudicated and committed by one of the state’s county juvenile courts. As part of this work, the team conducted an organizational assessment, which included a document review and staff conversations, to inform the focus areas of staff workshops and consultation. The team also provided ongoing consultation, including relevant resources and assistance in development of policies and procedures that include trauma-responsive care principles, and consultation on a youth training approach.
