The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges -- NCJFCJ for short -- is an educational, research, and policy organization. Its membership consists of 1,815 judges, judicial officers, social workers, and others.

The NCJFCJ has a web page devoted to “Trauma-Informed Courts.”  The page contains four major flaws:

1. Does not define or explain the meaning of “trauma-informed.” This omission is problematic because the interpretation of “trauma-informed” has evolved significantly over the past decade.
2. Asserts, “The NCJFCJ’s work with courts is informed by a focus on trauma using a universal precautions approach that assumes children and families involved in the court system have experienced some form of trauma that may be mitigated through court-based interventions.” [emphasis added]. In a child abuse or domestic violence case, this statement could serve to remove the presumption of innocence for the accused and impair judicial impartiality.
3. Claims that “Our Policy” is, “All judges should appropriately engage families, professionals, organizations, and communities to support effectively child safety, permanency, well-being, victim safety, offender accountability, healthy family functioning, and community protection.” But a review of the NCJFCJ website does not reveal any officially approved “policy” to this effect.
4. Makes vague and unsupported assertions, for example, “Courts often lack a complete understanding of the effects of trauma on the populations before them and may not have the capacity to modify environments, policies, and practices to keep from compounding the trauma experienced.”

Here's where you can tell the NCJFCJ to stop pushing trauma-informed ideology that lacks a scientific basis: https://www.ncjfcj.org/get-involved/contact-us/
