"While we work to effectively address the root causes of violence and addiction in our communities, we must also focus on the ripple effect that exposure to violence and traumatic experiences has on our children and their future. Unaddressed trauma can harm mental and physical health, life expectancy, school success, and employment. The bipartisan RISE from Trauma Act invests in communities and our workforce to support children and families facing trauma to heal their emotional scars and build a brighter future."
