Establishes brain injury screening and education program in DCF.

This bill creates a new program within the Department of Children and Families to screen children and young adults aged five to 21 for brain injuries and to educate various professionals and families about these conditions. The initiative requires the use of validated screening tools and structured interviews to identify at-risk youth, while also providing training for educators, judges, law enforcement, healthcare providers, and government employees to better recognize and support those affected. Additionally, the program will launch outreach efforts through schools, community organizations, and online platforms to raise awareness about available treatment and rehabilitation services. To ensure accountability, the Department of Children and Families must adopt specific rules to implement the program and submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature on its progress and effectiveness.
