The bill would create a grant program for healthcare facilities to work with victim services organizations. The grants would support training for healthcare providers and other people who interact with survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Training would focus on trauma-informed, victim-centered care, identifying and treating cases, and avoiding further trauma. Grant recipients would evaluate their training and share preliminary results and recommendations. The bill also requires a federal report on the program.
Healthcare facilities could apply for grants to train staff and collaborate with victim services organizations. The training would address care for survivors in different communities and circumstances. The bill does not require survivors to take part in training or change their access to services.
The bill authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. These funds would support the grant program. The bill does not state how much would ultimately be spent.
