The Supporting Trauma-Informed Education Practices Act of 2026 authorizes the federal government to award grants to schools, school districts, and tribal educational agencies to improve mental health and trauma support services for students. These grants would fund evidence-based programs such as training teachers in trauma-informed practices, connecting schools with community mental health services, implementing supportive behavioral programs, and engaging families in mental health awareness efforts. The legislation affects teachers, school administrators, mental health staff, and students in public schools across the country, with particular attention to reaching rural, suburban, tribal, and urban communities equitably. The bill authorizes $50 million annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with individual grants limited to five-year periods. Recipients must establish partnerships with local agencies including mental health providers, child welfare services, and juvenile justice authorities to coordinate trauma support services.
