Creates new programs and funding to support mental health for teachers and other school staff.
This bill would create new federal programs and set aside $45 million each year for three years to help teachers and other school staff with their mental health. It aims to prevent suicide, address substance use, and reduce the stigma around seeking mental health care for those working in schools. This means more resources and support would be available for educators across the country.
Right now, no specific federal mandates or funding streams exist to identify and share best practices, launch a national awareness campaign, or provide grants for improving mental health among school staff. If this bill becomes law, it would establish federal initiatives, grant programs, and reporting requirements to promote mental health and well-being, prevent suicide, and address substance use disorders among education professionals and other school staff. This includes setting aside $45,000,000 annually for the government's budget years 2026 through 2028 for these efforts.
