Youth Mental Health and Rural Resilience Act

This bill would establish a competitive federal grant program administered by the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services to help schools, local governments, and qualified community organizations expand youth counseling, school-based mental-health services, crisis referrals, and suicide-prevention programs. Grants would prioritize underserved rural communities and require practical family supports, including provider referrals, caregiver education, and coordination with existing health and social-service networks.
