Creates grants to help schools hire more mental health staff for students.
This bill would create a new grant program to help schools hire more mental health professionals. It would give money to high-need schools to recruit, hire, and keep counselors, psychologists, and social workers. This means students in those schools could get more mental health support.
Today, many high-need schools struggle to hire and keep enough mental health professionals for their students. If this bill becomes law, the federal government would offer competitive grants to help these schools recruit, hire, and retain more school counselors, psychologists, and social workers. This would mean more students in high-need areas could get mental health support at school.
