About HB2575
HB2575 was passed to help create systems that understand and know how to work with individuals who have experienced trauma. The Oregon Department of Justice (ODOJ) will partner with Trauma Informed Oregon to deliver the TIRT model curriculum through both day-long regional trainings and four-day statewide Train the Trainer facilitator trainings.
