Creates new grants for local groups to boost community mental health and resilience programs.
This bill would set up new federal grants to help local groups create or expand programs that improve mental well-being and help communities cope with stress. It aims to prevent mental health issues before they become severe by focusing on community-wide support. The bill would authorize $36 million to pay for these initiatives from the government's budget year 2025 through 2029.
Today, the Public Health Service Act does not include specific provisions for a grant program dedicated to establishing, operating, or expanding community-based mental wellness and resilience programs. After this bill, the Public Health Service Act would be changed to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promote mental wellness and resilience and establish a new grant program. This program would offer planning grants up to $250,000 and program grants up to $500,000 annually for up to four years, with 20 percent of funds reserved for rural areas. The bill would authorize $36,000,000 for these activities from government's budget years 2025 through 2029.
