Dr. Monique Marrow holds a doctorate Degree in Child Clinical Psychology from The Ohio State University. She is a member of the National Childhood Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and currently serves as Consortium Investigator for the Center for Trauma Recovery and Juvenile Justice at the University of Connecticut, and as training specialist for the University of Kentucky Center on Trauma and Children. Both grants focus on the training and dissemination of trauma focused interventions for youth in the Juvenile Justice system or at risk for involvement in the system. Dr. Marrow also serves on NCTSN’s Steering Committee, Affiliate Advisory Board, Community Violence, Complex Trauma and Justice Consortium Committees. She is co-chair for the Juvenile Justice Treatment Sub Committee and recently co-authored a training curriculum with members of this committee entitled “Think Trauma: a training for staff in Juvenile Justice and Residential Settings.”
Dr. Marrow has previously served as the Director for the Toledo Children’s Hospital Cullen Center, a community based mental health center focused on providing services to youth and families impacted by trauma. Her experience in the field of juvenile justice includes a 12 year career with the Ohio Department of Youth Services where she served as a psychologist, psychology supervisor and finally as Deputy Director of Treatment and Rehabilitation Services for the Department. In 2006, while serving as Deputy Director she initiated the Department’s first trauma focused intervention program designed to provide training to staff, treatment programming for youth and modifications to environments, policies and practices to ensure they were consistent with trauma focused practice. This initiative is detailed in an article entitled “The Value of Implementing TARGET within a Trauma-Informed Juvenile Justice Setting”, which was published in a special issue of the Journal of Child and Adolescent Trauma in August of 2012.
Dr. Marrow is actively involved in training and consultation across the country, including as instructor with Georgetown University’s Center for Juvenile Justice Reform. Here she has focused on addressing issues of trauma in youth in custody and cross-over youth populations.
