Webinar recording: Trauma Informed Justice - A System Level Transformation in Kenora Rainy River
On January 11, 2017, system partners in Kenora Rainy River presented the sixth webinar in the INTERVENTIONS IN PRACTICE webinar series, highlighting evidence-informed interventions implemented as part of the Systems Improvement through Service Collaboratives (SISC) initiative.

- described the implementation and scale-up of this intervention across the Kenora Rainy River district.
Target audience:
- Professionals who work with justice-involved youth who wish to learn more about trauma and its impacts
- Front-line staff, senior leadership, managers, policy and decision makers in human and justice services organizations
