Support for School Mental Health Professionals

This act aims to increase the number of mental health professionals available in schools. The program will help students cover graduate study costs in fields like school psychology or social work, making it easier for them to work in schools and improve access to mental health support for students.
Key points
The government will cover a portion of graduate study costs for future school-based mental health professionals.
The program will prioritize students who previously received Federal Pell Grants or attended specific institutions.
More professionals in schools mean better access to psychological help for children and youth.
