“The RISE From Trauma Act is gaining momentum in the Senate and the Coalition for Trauma Informed Policy & Practice (CTIPP) needs your engagement NOW in support of this important legislation. The RISE From Trauma Act (S. 2086) provides a unique opportunity to help launch a new federal grant program of up to $4.8 billion over eight years ($600 million per year) to support community coalitions who are advancing trauma-informed initiatives. Your advocacy today will go a long way toward moving this legislation closer to the finish line and ACEs/trauma/resilience work into local Maryland communities!

If you are able, please take quick (less than a minute) and easy action, please fill out this link, then share this link and call to action with your networks to get many people reaching out to your Senators in support of this action.
