house 02/21/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to pass the PEER Mental Health Act of 2025, which aims to provide grants for training teachers, school staff, students, and parents in recognizing and responding to mental health issues. By promoting mental health first aid in schools, especially in rural areas, we strive to create supportive environments and connect students to appropriate resources when needed.
