Require trauma-informed care training for guardians ad litem

Summary

The bill mandates that any guardian ad litem or child advocate appointed in Ohio child‑welfare cases must finish at least three hours of trauma‑informed care training every two years. They must show proof of compliance within 120 days of the law taking effect. The goal is to help these officials interact with children in a way that avoids re‑traumatization and to recognize their own secondary trauma.
