117-hr-1667, Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act
Supports mental health and resilience for health care professionals. It creates grants, an education and awareness campaign, best-practice guidance, and federal evaluation to reduce suicide risk, stigma, and barriers to care. - Health care professionals: Funds training, suicide-prevention best practices, and a national campaign to reduce stigma and encourage use of mental health and substance use disorder services. - Students and institutions: Hospitals, health professions schools, community health centers, rural health clinics, professional associations, tribal organizations, and government entities can get grants for training and capacity building. Grants may last up to three years. - Rural and workforce-shortage areas: Prioritizes health professional shortage areas and rural regions for awards and requires Secretary reports plus a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review within four years to assess program effectiveness and duplication. Authorizes $10 million per year for the education initiative and $35 million per year for mental health programs for 2022–2024, increasing federal spending over that period.
117-hr-1448, PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act
This law creates a Department of Veterans Affairs pilot to provide canine training therapy for veterans diagnosed with post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The pilot must start within 180 days, run five years, and operate at at least five VA medical centers in geographically diverse locations, and the law also requires the VA to provide a commercially available veterinary insurance policy for dogs given to eligible veterans. - Veterans: Eligible veterans with PTSD can join a program that trains them to work with service dogs and may adopt a trained dog if it is clinically appropriate. Participation does not stop veterans from getting other VA PTSD care. - Service dog training organizations: The VA may contract with accredited nongovernmental trainers. Contracts must require certified instructors, forbid shock or prong collars, use positive reinforcement, prevent unsupervised access to trained dogs, tailor training to PTSD symptoms, and provide follow‑up support including lifelong help if adoption occurs. - Oversight and evidence: The VA will collect data on participation, veteran satisfaction, and clinical improvements. The VA must arrange a Government Accountability Office briefing within one year of the pilot start and a GAO report within 270 days after the pilot ends.
