Just over a year ago, the CAREs Act passed with $13.2 billion in education relief funds for elementary and secondary schools among other education funding. Recently, the Federal Rescue Act was signed into law providing an additional $130 billion in funding for education that includes funds to address the impact of the pandemic on student education and well-being. This survey by Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice (CTIPP) and PACEs Connection is seeking to find out if any of these funds were specifically allocated for trauma-informed practice or policy at the state and local levels.
Are you aware of any specific trauma-informed services, practices, or policies that were included in the expenditure of federal COVID funds allocated in your state, either through the CAREs Act or the Federal Rescue Plan?
