Healing-Centered Illinois Task Force
In 2023, the General Assembly passed legislation establishing the Healing-Centered Illinois Task Force to advance Illinois’ adoption of a more trauma-informed and healing-centered justice system. Led by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton and the office's Justice, Equity, and Opportunity Initiative, the Task Force officially launched in January 2024.
Throughout the year, leaders from diverse backgrounds and communities dedicated their time and expertise to research and develop recommendations outlined in the final report.

Task Force on Children of Incarcerated Parents
Led by then-State Representative Delia Ramirez and Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton’s Justice, Equity, and Opportunity Initiative, the Task Force was created by legislative statute in 2019 to propose recommendations for ways to address the impact of incarceration on families.
“The consequences of incarceration reverberate for generations to come, and the trauma of parental incarceration for children is often ignored," said Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton. "The recommendations of this Task Force are an important step towards creating a more equitable future for all Illinois children, and I am grateful to the Task Force for its work on these important issues.”
