This book offers an integrated training and coaching system to
facilitate change in systems that serve youth (education,
healthcare, and juvenile justice). The integrated training and
coaching system combines brain development, cultural responsivity,
and trauma-informed practices. The book provides a comprehensive
overview of the neurobiology of fear, brain development, trauma,
substance use, and mental health, structural bias and environmental
factors that pose a threat to healthy brain development. The book
employs practical applications/recommendations and case examples
that help solidify understanding of key concepts. Each chapter
begins with a set of objectives and interactive exercises that
builds on the next, thoughtfully challenging the reader (and giving
specific, practical ways for the reader) to apply the information
presented with the goal of "change". The text is written from the
perspective of a trauma-informed addiction psychiatrist who has
effectively facilitated systems change. Topics featured in this
book include: Common threats to healthy brain development. The
neurobiology of trauma. Applying trauma-informed practices and
approaches. Cannabis and its impact on the brain. Labeling theory
and implicit bias. Exploring the connection between fear and
trauma. Rehabilitation versus habilitation. Managing stress through
mindfulness. Training for Change will be of interest to graduate
and advanced undergraduate students and researchers in the fields
of cognitive psychology, criminology, public health, and child and
adolescent development as well as parents, teachers, judges,
attorneys, preventative medicine and pediatric providers.

This book provides in-depth analysis of the historical,
philosophical, anthropological, political and neurobiological
reinforcements of fear and the role of fear-on-fear interactions in
the construction and maintenance of systems. This text will help
systems appreciate the profound, pervasive and deleterious role
fear has played in the establishment of laws, policies and
practices, and explore what systems can do to reduce fear and
prioritize safety and healing. Right now we are dealing with hard
truths: human suffering runs deep and is universal; trauma is
ubiquitous and widespread; racism is real and has profound
psychological, physical, political, social and economic
implications; and the world is hurting and needs healing. Many are
curious about where and when healing will commence, who will
facilitate it and what it will look and feel like. Healing comes in
this order: safety, truth and then reconciliation. When we know
better, we can (or should) certainly do better. This book offers a
framework for how to effectively begin to deconstruct systemic
fear, prioritize safety, reduce needless suffering and move toward
optimal healing and sustained change.
