A bill to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to establish the Adverse Childhood Experiences Response Team grant program, and for other purposes.
This bill creates a federal grant program to help communities address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as exposure to trauma or violence, affecting children. It provides $10 million annually (2026-2029) for grants to states, local governments, tribes, and community organizations to establish "Adverse Childhood Experiences Response Teams." These teams would develop protocols for trauma-informed care, build partnerships with mental health providers, integrate law enforcement with crisis services, and train first responders - focusing on preventing harm and improving access to support for affected children. The program directly supports communities working to mitigate trauma impacts through coordinated, cross-system collaboration.
