Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Trauma-Informed Care Month in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate May 2026 as Trauma-Informed Care Month in New York State. The resolution highlights how traumatic experiences and adverse childhood events can impact physical and mental health, and it promotes the use of trauma-informed care as a way to better support individuals and communities. By recognizing this month, the state aims to increase awareness about the effects of trauma and encourage agencies to continue integrating trauma-informed approaches into their programs. The bill is a commemorative measure that does not create new laws or funding but serves to promote public understanding of trauma-informed care.
