School mental health grants for students
If enacted, the government would fund 5‑year grants so schools can offer mental health services. Partnerships of state education agencies and community providers would run the programs. Each grantee could get up to $2 million for each of the first five fiscal years after enactment, based on the number of children up to age 21 served. Money could support trauma‑informed services, staff training and screening, family engagement, treatment, and reporting systems. No more than 20% could be used for evaluation. Records would have to follow HIPAA and FERPA. Awards would be spread across regions and urban/rural areas and could be renewed. Congress is authorized to provide $300 million in 2027 and $300 million in 2028. You would benefit only if your child’s school or district is chosen for a grant.
