Literature: Trauma within the juvenile justice system is common, with a high prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) (Baglivio & Epps, 2016; Clements-Nolle & Waddington, 2018), resulting in neurological changes negatively impacting sensory processing of those who are a part of the juvenile justice system (Collin-Vezina et al., 2019; Fraser et al., 2017; Pickens, 2016; van der Kolk & MacFarlane, 2007; Wolff et al., 2017). A trauma-informed system would allow youth to develop healthy coping skills (Ford & Hawke, 2012; Pickens, 2016) as well as provide for a safer environment for staff members by providing them with appropriate tools to manage youth behavior. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to educate staff at a juvenile detention center on the impact of trauma on sensory processing and the benefits of sensory interventions to utilize with residents to facilitate trusting relationships and reduce the effect of trauma within the population. Methods: This study utilized a survey methodology to anonymously collect opinions and knowledge from staff members at Johnson County Juvenile Detention Center regarding trauma, sensory processing, and re-traumatization before and after a six-week educational series on the topics. Results: Participants demonstrated increased agreement and acceptance of the educational topics as well as stated that they have a better understanding of all topics after completion of the educational series. Discussion: Findings of the study support the need for educating detention center staff on sensory interventions, as well as show the benefit of occupational therapy for residents of the detention center.
