Schools could get federal money to offer students mental health help online.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help elementary and secondary schools set up or improve online mental health services for students. It would especially help schools in rural areas or those with many low-income students, making it easier for kids to get needed support.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program focused on helping elementary and secondary schools set up or upgrade online mental and behavioral health services for students. This bill would create a new grant program, authorizing $5 million to be appropriated for each government budget year from 2026 through 2029, to fund these services. This would allow schools, especially those in underserved areas, to get federal money to buy equipment, hire staff, and create space for online mental health support.
