Trauma-Informed Responses TTT Event
The TTT events are for experienced training facilitators in the criminal justice field who seek to increase their understanding of trauma and gain the tools to raise awareness of the impact of trauma on behavior. A core objective is to guide trainers on strategies for developing system-wide plans that embed trauma-informed response practices into policy and protocols to improve outcomes for individuals with histories of justice involvement and trauma. In 2022, SAMHSA’s GAINS Center will conduct up to 13 virtual workshops. Ten workshops are for individual communities, with participant trainers identified and invited during the planning process for each jurisdiction. In addition, two or three workshops (depending on applicant volume) will be multi-jurisdiction trainings with representatives from different localities.

SIM Mapping Workshop
This year, applicants could choose to apply to participate in a substance use-focused SIM or a traditional SIM. The traditional SIM focuses broadly on identifying gaps and resources in the systems and services responsible for responding to the needs of adults with mental and substance use disorders who are involved or at risk of involvement in the criminal justice system. The substance use SIM uses the same process to help jurisdictions transform systems specifically for individuals with substance use disorders and is designed for communities with the capacity to implement comprehensive community-wide planning for addressing opioid use disorder and other substance use issues.

- Albemarle County, Virginia
- Becker, Clearwater, and Mahnomen Counties, Minnesota**
