Legislation for Concurent Resolution

---

Feb 25th, 2020, the Ohio House of Representatives introduced a Concurent Resolution on the House floor to prepare for full legislation.

By declaring a State of Emergency on Childhood Trauma, we are looking to not only increase awareness regarding the causes and impact of trauma, but train professionals and community entities*to become trauma responsive.*Trauma responsiveness involves addressing the systems and institutions that perpetuate trauma within vulnerable communities, reframing the behaviors of the populations impacted by these systems away from a narrative of criminality and delinquency*toward a narrative of survival, and equipping those serving*these communities and individuals with the skills and Cultural Humility to create the safety needed for healing.
