Supporting Trauma-Informed Education Practices Act of 2026

This bill rewrites a section of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to set up federal grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements that connect public schools with community trauma support and mental health services. State and local education agencies, Indian Tribes, the Bureau of Indian Education, Alaska Native Regional Corporations, Native Hawaiian educational organizations, and child care lead agencies could apply. Funds could pay for activities such as staff training, trauma-informed support models, services at full-service community schools, family engagement, and partnerships with early childhood programs. Recipients would have to sign local agreements with agencies such as juvenile justice, child welfare, and mental health agencies. The bill authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with awards spread across regions and tribal, urban, suburban, and rural areas.
