Mr. Dillard thank you for your observation. Trauma informed care is truly something that is needed if we are going to be preventive.

Good morning. This hearing will come to order. Let me just say im really looking forward to this one. I was telling the witnesses, i have read all the testimony. And i generally do that as best of my ability. Sometimes the testimony before this committee can be a little dry. And as im reading late at night it will put me to sleep.
