Federal agencies would review and improve how they help people in mental health crises.
This bill would make the Department of Health and Human Services look into how other federal agencies deal with mental health crises. It aims to improve how these agencies identify people in need, share information, and offer support. If passed, federal agencies would then be directed to carry out the suggested improvements as much as possible.
Currently, there is no required assessment by the Secretary of Health and Human Services regarding how federal agencies address mental health crisis prevention and awareness. This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct such an assessment within 180 days of becoming law. Following this, federal agencies would be directed to implement the assessment's recommendations, to the extent they can, to improve mental health support and awareness.
