What it does
The bill would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to dedicate sufficient resources to support LGBTQ+ youth accessing the 988 suicide prevention hotline, including establishing and maintaining specialized services such as the Press 3 option or IVR system. It amends the Public Health Service Act to require that at least 9 percent of appropriated funds for suicide prevention hotline services be reserved for these LGBTQ+ youth-specific services. The bill aims to address the disproportionate risk of suicide among LGBTQ+ youth by ensuring accessible, trained support through the national 988 Lifeline.
