HR-5889 : Still Just a Bill


Recognizing Early Childhood Trauma Related to Substance Abuse Act of 2018

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to provide resources to early childhood care and education providers and other professionals working with young children on ways to recognize and respond to children who may be affected by a family member's or other adult's substance abuse. Such resources must include information on risk-assessment, age-appropriate care, and response options that support the whole family.
