"Responding to violence in our communities requires us to recognize the impact that traumatic experiences can have on our children. Trauma - such as witnessing violence, abuse, or a drug overdose - can harm brain development & cause emotional scars that follow a child for life."

"Without help, trauma can impact long-term mental and physical health, disrupt school success, and feed into the cycle of violence, addiction, and poverty in our communities. Nationwide, nearly 35 million children have had at least one traumatic experience."

"Today, I introduced the RISE from Trauma Act with @SenCapito, @SenDuckworth, @lisamurkowski, and @RepDannyDavis to address the ripple effect that trauma can have on children. Our bill will provide the resources and support to help children be resilient and thrive in the future."
