This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promote mental wellness and resilience and prevent and heal mental, behavioral, and psychosocial conditions. It establishes a new grant program to support developmentally and culturally appropriate community-based initiatives, emphasizing a public health approach to mental health. The legislation aims to strengthen community-wide well-being by focusing on prevention and early intervention. The grant program includes planning grants , up to $250,000, for organizing mental wellness networks and assessing community needs, and program grants . Program grants, awarded competitively for up to $500,000 annually over four years, support the establishment, operation, or expansion of community mental wellness and resilience programs. Notably, 20 percent of these program grant funds are reserved for initiatives in rural areas. Funded programs must adopt a public health approach, identifying and strengthening protective factors while addressing risk factors within communities. They are required to build community awareness, skills, and leadership to detect, prevent, and heal various mental health conditions. Activities include fostering social connections, enhancing local conditions, promoting trauma-informed practices, and engaging in nonclinical prevention and recovery programs. The bill authorizes $36,000,000 for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 to carry out these provisions.
