dc.descriptionTrauma-informed, gender-responsive, and culturally competent somatic interventions can serve as critical components of physical and mental health approaches for system-involved girls by offering key coping strategies and skills vital for future development, as well as improved health outcomes. Demonstrated positive effects discussed in this report include: (1) improved self-regulation and other emotional development; (2) improved neurological and physical health; and (3) healthier relationships and parenting practices. The positive benefits of trauma-informed, gender-responsive, and culturally competent somatic interventions for girls give rise to two critical needs: (1) developing new programs that serve system-involved girls in juvenile justice facilities and residential placement programs; and (2) scaling up existing programs, with a focus on sustainability. Additional research should be conducted to develop a more comprehensive picture of how juvenile justice systems can fully integrate trauma-informed, gender-responsive, and culturally competent somatic interventions to address girls’ trauma and support their resilience.en_US
