Protecting Children, Prioritizing Healing
Carmen Petru, is leading the charge to ensure children named in protective orders receive immediate access to trauma-informed care. Her proposed legislation, the Emergency Mental Health Access for Protected Children Act, guarantees up to 12 free therapy sessions for children under 13, with services beginning within 7 days of a court-issued protective order involving domestic violence.
This initiative reflects Carmen’s deep commitment to child safety, family stability, and practical reform. As a business owner and legal advocate, she understands that trauma left untreated becomes a lifelong burden. Her bill is designed to close a dangerous gap in Arizona’s response to domestic violence; ensuring that when the courts recognize risk, the state responds with care.
Carmen’s bill is built on transparency, accountability, and action. She believes that protecting children means more than paperwork—it means healing. This bill is one of several reforms she’s championing to make Arizona a safer, more responsive place for families in crisis.
