Eau Claire County

Eau Claire County and the Northwest Regional Juvenile Detention Center improved overall conditions of confinement by reducing resident room confinement resulting from misbehavior.  The goal was achieved by advanced and ongoing training in the understanding, identification, and management of crisis behavior.  Employees expanded their knowledge of the behavioral health and trauma needs of youth, while building skills and capacity to use trauma-informed approaches in daily interactions with youth.  Staff who were trained also became Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training trainers.
