Bill overview
The STRONG Support for Children Act of 2021 aims to prevent and mitigate childhood trauma by providing grants to health departments and local/tribal governments. It establishes two programs: one to analyze data and identify interventions for preventing trauma, and another to expand early childhood trauma-informed care coordination services. The bill prohibits using grant funds for certain actions, such as informing individual case decisions or increasing law enforcement presence, and mandates program evaluation and public reporting. It also addresses systemic factors contributing to trauma, including racism, poverty, and historical injustices.
