More about this bill

Children who have lived through violence, abuse, or a parent's addiction would get more help. The RISE from Trauma Act would pay for that help with federal grants. Schools could restart a grant program for trauma and mental health services that ran out after 2023. Hospitals could get grants to follow up with patients who show up after an overdose, a suicide attempt, or a violent injury. None of this changes your taxes or what you pay directly. The largest piece is $600 million a year, from 2026 through 2033. It would fund local groups that plan trauma services together. Each group must include at least five kinds of members, such as schools, hospitals, police, and child welfare agencies. Each grant is capped at $6 million and runs four years. The money would go first to places with high rates of overdose deaths, violent deaths, or foster care and juvenile justice cases. Other money would train the adults who work with these children. The bill adds $50 million a year to repay student loans for health workers who serve in schools. It adds $25 million a year to train infant and early childhood mental health staff. Teacher training programs would cover options other than suspension and calling police. The Justice Department would open a center to help police handle children in crisis, at $8 million a year. The National Child Traumatic Stress Network would get about $93.9 million a year through 2030.
