Trauma-Informed Care Task Force
In February, 2020, Baltimore became the first US city to legislate trauma-informed care with passage of the Elijah Cummings Healing City Act.
In 2021, Baltimore convened its Trauma-Informed Care Task Force—a key component of the act—to lead the city’s efforts to ensure that delivery of services across all agencies is trauma-informed.
Over the last year, the Task Force members—who represent a broad range of experiences with trauma—have been meeting bi-weekly to explore and develop ways to prioritize the health and healing of our communities. The Task Force is co-chaired by Councilman Zeke Cohen, who sponsored the Healing City bill.
Increasing trauma-informed care for youth is one of the seven priorities of the Baltimore Children’s Cabinet.
Trauma Informed Care Task Force meetings take place the 3rd Tuesday of each month at City Hall
- All meetings are open to the public -
