Lindamarie Olson, PhD, LCSW, is an Assistant Professor in the School of Social Work at the University of Alabama with a research focus on interventions for at-risk youth to reduce their initial contact with the juvenile justice system and to limit their ongoing involvement in the system. Her intervention research will explore and examine the effects of trauma and neuroscience on cognitive, mental health, and behavioral change within this population. Research objectives include 1) building and expanding the state of knowledge in this field to address the interconnection of neuroscience, adolescent development, trauma, and juvenile offending, and 2) bridging the gap between research and practice to facilitate a more effective and responsive justice system for youth.
