	Description:		Podcasters: Russha Montag-Knauer, Matt Bennett, Curt Mower, & Dr. Jerry Yager In this episode, Matt, Curt, and Jerry welcome Russha Montag-Knauer. Russha works as an Analyst for the Evaluation Unit at the Colorado Division of Probation Services and has worked over the years in integrating trauma-informed practices into her criminal justice philosophy and work.

While this surprises few, who know the neurobiological impact of trauma, we will examine how a person’s hurt and pain too often results in criminal behaviors. Discussion questions: What is the relationship between trauma and criminal behavior? How could helping your clients heal from their trauma prevent future criminal acts? What would a trauma-informed criminal justice system look like in your community, state, or country?
