Big local trauma grants for communities
If enacted, the bill would create competitive grants for local coordinating bodies to prevent or reduce community trauma. The program would get $600 million each year for fiscal years 2026 through 2033. Grants could be up to $6 million and run for up to four years. Grants must supplement other funds, include sustainability plans, collect disaggregated data, and be evaluated on health, education, child welfare, and justice outcomes.
More trauma training for schools and clinicians
If enacted, the bill would expand training and supports for teachers, school leaders, early childhood clinicians, and school-based staff. It would require trauma-informed teacher preparation, reauthorize school trauma support grants for FY2026–FY2030, and direct HHS to produce front-line toolkits within 18 months. It would add $50 million a year (FY2026–2030) for National Health Service Corps awards in schools or community sites, create a $25 million a year infant and early childhood mental health training program, and authorize about $93.9 million a year for the National Child Traumatic Stress Network for 2026–2030.
Hospital grants for trauma care
If enacted, the bill would let HHS award grants to hospitals to deliver and test trauma-informed care for patients who present after overdoses, suicide attempts, or violent injury. Grants could fund screening, counseling, discharge planning, skills-building, long-term case management, coordination with community groups, and evaluation. Grantees would report outcomes and CMS would study coverage and reimbursement options.
New law enforcement and DOJ grants
If enacted, the bill would authorize DOJ grants to help children exposed to violence and substance use and would create a National Law Enforcement Child and Youth Trauma Coordinating Center. The DOJ grants would get $11 million a year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. The Center would fund training, best practices, and grants, with $6 million a year for grants and $2 million a year for other activities from 2026 through 2030.
Better data and trauma pilots
If enacted, the bill would support up to 10 cross-agency pilots from 2026 through 2030 to test coordinated trauma-focused services. It would also raise CDC trauma surveillance funding to $9 million a year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. OMB must issue guidance within nine months to help start pilots and align performance measures.
