Creates a grant program to help high school and college students explore mental health careers.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to encourage high school and community college students to consider careers in mental and behavioral health. It would set aside $50 million each year for five years to fund programs that offer students presentations, internships, and mentorships in these fields. This program aims to encourage students to consider careers in mental health.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program under the Public Health Service Act. This program would focus on promoting mental and behavioral health careers in high schools and community colleges. If this bill becomes law, the government would set aside $50,000,000 each year. This money would be for the government's budget years 2027 to 2031. It would fund new 5-year grant programs. These programs would help students in grades 9-12 and community colleges learn about and explore careers in mental health.
