senate 06/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to increase federal support for states to expand access to mental health and substance use disorder services in schools, ensuring more students can get the care they need right where they learn. This legislation also aims to grow the number of qualified providers in school-based settings to better support children’s well-being.

If you don’t fund mental health in schools, you’re just funding future crises. Let’s invest wisely where it counts.

A 90% federal match? Sounds like a bailout for states, not a solution for students.

Boosting mental health funding in schools sounds good, but let’s keep an eye on how the money gets spent.
