The Childhood Trauma Task Force, which was established by Chapter 69 of the Acts of 2018 (An Act Relative to Criminal Justice Reform), is charged with determining how the Commonwealth can better identify and provide services to youth who have experienced trauma, with the goal of preventing future juvenile justice system involvement.
The Task Force is a subcommittee of the Juvenile Justice Policy and Data Board, and is comprised of members representing a broad spectrum of organizations involved in the juvenile justice system.
