VIOLENCE PREVENTION

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Human Services to start a Community Grief and Violence Prevention Pilot in Chicago and the Southland region, sending teams that give quick trauma help, ongoing counseling, and restorative‑justice circles. It also requires public elementary schools to add grief literacy and restorative‑justice lessons, expands Chicago parents’ education, and funds grants to recruit social‑work professionals for high‑violence neighborhoods. The aim is to break cycles of violence by addressing grief and trauma early.
