Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 7 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
National trauma network and data support
If enacted, Congress would reauthorize the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and require grantees to collaborate on evidence-based resources and services. The network could get about $93.9 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2030. The bill would also boost CDC childhood trauma data funding to $9 million per year and require HHS to publish front-line toolkits within 18 months of enactment.
Hospital trauma care grant program
If enacted, HHS could give grants to hospitals and health systems to test and run trauma-informed care after overdoses, suicide attempts, or violent injury. Grants could pay for screening, counseling, discharge planning, skills training, and long-term case management tied to community services. Hospitals must report results and HHS (through CMS) would study coverage and payment options.
Infant and early childhood training grants
If enacted, HHS would fund a new Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Clinical Leadership program to build training institutes at colleges and hospitals. Grants could fund graduate tracks, scholarships, stipends, community supervision, and mid-career training. The program is authorized at $25 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2030.
Local trauma coordination grant program
If enacted, HHS would run a new demonstration grant program that gives local governments, tribes, counties, and nonprofits up to $6 million each for four years to coordinate trauma prevention and resilience services. The program would be authorized at $600 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2033. Grants must supplement, not replace, other funds and must include diverse local partners with trauma expertise. HHS would evaluate outcomes at the end of each grant.
Trauma supports for schools and teachers
If enacted, the bill would reauthorize Trauma Support Services in Schools for fiscal years 2026–2030 and require teacher-preparation partnerships to train teachers and early childhood educators in trauma-informed practices. It would add $50 million per year (2026–2030) to the National Health Service Corps for clinicians serving in schools and community settings. Programs would emphasize non-punitive discipline, social-emotional learning, and recruiting people from trauma-affected communities.
Justice Department child trauma grants and center
If enacted, the Attorney General would be authorized to make grants to reduce children's exposure to violence and substance use and to set up a National Law Enforcement Child and Youth Trauma Coordinating Center. The children's grants are authorized at $11 million per year (2026–2030) and law enforcement grants and center activities could get $6 million and $2 million per year (2026–2030). The Center would train police and help link children to services.
Cross-agency trauma pilot projects
If enacted, Federal agencies could run up to 10 cross-agency Performance Partnership Pilots in fiscal years 2026–2030 to test trauma-informed approaches for children and families. The Office of Management and Budget must issue guidance and planning templates within nine months of enactment to help start-up and align pilots.
