New national campaign would boost mental health support for Hispanic and Latino youth.
This bill would create a national campaign to help Hispanic and Latino young people with their mental health. The campaign would offer resources, workshops, and screenings. The bill would also require studies on how to improve services and increase the number of Hispanic and Latino mental health professionals. These efforts aim to address high rates of mental health challenges and low treatment rates in this community.
Today, there is no specific national awareness and outreach campaign dedicated to improving mental health among Hispanic and Latino youth. If this bill becomes law, a national campaign would be created to promote mental health and reduce stigma, offering culturally-sensitive resources, workshops, and screenings. Additionally, two major studies would be conducted to understand mental health challenges and workforce shortages in this community, with a total of $27 million authorized to pay for these efforts over five years.
