Aloha,
In 2021, the State of Hawaiʻi legislature passed a law to create the ACT 209 Task Force. This interagency task force was given the charge to present recommendations that would create a trauma-informed care state. SB2482, submitted by Ways and Means Chair, Senator Donovan Dela Cruz would create the Office of Wellness and Resilience. This office would carry forward the recommendations of the task force and truly set the infrastructure to perpetuate trauma-informed care practices in government and private sector operations. This information sheet produced by the Hawai'i Community Foundation, clearly outlines the functions of the Office of Wellness and Resilience. Please consider contacting your district representative to support SB 2482.
