What it does
The bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a pilot program supporting evidence-based mental health peer support activities for students in secondary schools, with funding awarded competitively to eligible states, territories, tribes, and local governments. Eligible entities must ensure oversight by school-based mental health professionals, protect student education records under FERPA, and measure program outcomes, while the Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use will evaluate the program’s effectiveness and report findings to Congress. The program would sunset on September 30, 2029.
