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.
