The Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2025 requires the Attorney General to develop and propose a comprehensive program aimed at providing treatment and preventative care for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder (ASD) to public safety officers and telecommunicators. This initiative acknowledges the significant mental health challenges faced by these professionals, including high rates of behavioral health conditions and increased suicide risk, often due to their demanding work. Within 150 days of enactment, the Attorney General, through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, must submit a detailed report to Congress. This report will outline at least one proposed program designed to offer state-of-the-art treatments, including evidence-based trauma-informed care, peer support, counselor services, and family supports. The program aims to address job-related PTSD and ASD, ensuring access to vital mental health resources. Furthermore, the report must include draft grant conditions to ensure confidentiality for officers seeking care, strategies for efficient administration across all governmental levels utilizing both in-person and telehealth capabilities, and necessary legislative language to authorize the program. It will also provide an estimate of the annual appropriations required for its implementation, developed in consultation with various stakeholders.
