The City’s Greensboro Criminal Justice Advisory Commission (GCJAC) is hosting a forum titled “Trauma and Violence: a Community Conversation on the Correlation” in place of its regularly scheduled virtual meeting at 6:30 pm Thursday, June 16.

Participate using this Zoom link; meeting ID 820 4024 5050; passcode 884943. During the forum, you may type questions into the chat feature for the panelists.

The forum features speakers from local mental health and criminal justice fields who will discuss the role trauma plays in the perpetuation of violence.

“Trauma is often times a topic that is not discussed from a criminal justice lens,” says Latisha McNeil, GCJAC administrator. “As a community, we see the effects of violence and criminal acts, but often times we miss the underlying traumatic experiences that can lead people down a violent path.”
