Implicit Bias and Cultural Competency for Nevada Juvenile Justice Professionals

Implicit Bias and Cultural Competency for Nevada Juvenile Justice Professionals is organized by Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) Learning.

Starts Date: 1 Jan 2024
Expires Date: 31 Dec 2025

Description:
This training aims to better understand socioeconomic factors throughout the State of Nevada, historical inequities in the juvenile justice system, and the impact of trauma and adverse childhood experiences on the decision-making and behavior of children under our care.

In 2021, the Nevada State Legislature brought forward a new law, now codified into NRS 62B.607, which requires juvenile justice professionals like us to receive implicit bias and cultural competency training specific to our profession every two years.

This Training was approved by DCFS to meet the requirements of NRS 62B.607. This training is also approved to meet the requirement for NRS 289.510 for Nevada probation officers.
