Mr. Carson is listed as a cosponsor of H.R. 7497, the Supporting Trauma-Informed Education Practices Act of 2026, which would amend the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to improve trauma support services and mental health care for children and youth in educational settings.
Support legislation to improve trauma support services and mental health care for children and youth in educational settings.
Occurrences
Evidence
Carson says he is committed to safe, healthy, enriching learning environments and says he has introduced the Transition to Success Modernization Act and Students Helping Students Act to expand mentorship programs and student support.
The official site's June 11, 2026 latest news highlights the Summer Meals for Kids Act, a child-focused bill, but the lookback window does not show a direct school mental-health or trauma bill.
Assessments
Carson’s official materials show ongoing support for student support legislation and safe learning environments, including introduced bills to expand mentorship and student supports. However, the evidence does not directly show legislation specifically improving trauma support services or mental health care for children and youth in schools was enacted or materially advanced to completion, so this is best treated as partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
