This bill authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants for peer mental health first aid programs. These grants will be provided to eligible entities, including elementary schools, secondary schools, local educational agencies, and State educational agencies. The primary goal is to train teachers, other school personnel, students, and parents/caregivers to recognize symptoms of childhood and adolescent mental health conditions , refer students to appropriate services, and apply mental health first aid tactics for immediate distress. The legislation also mandates that not less than 25 percent of the allocated funds be awarded to schools in rural areas . It allows entities to receive these funds in addition to other mental health awareness training grants. The Secretary is directed to streamline the grant application process and provide technical assistance, including best practices, to applicants and recipients. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $24,963,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030 to carry out these provisions.
