Show full summary
- Communities and callers: Helps states and localities fund coordinated responses to mental health calls and supports integrating and staffing the 988 national hotline to link callers with crisis services.
- Law enforcement and prosecutors: Pays for prosecutor training on diversion programs and backs multidisciplinary response models that pair specially trained officers with mental health workers. Those teams are expected, as practicable, to provide a 24/7 response and may be placed partly in 911 call centers to speed responses.
- People in jail and people returning home: Authorizes suicide prevention services for incarcerated individuals with ongoing risk assessment, and funds case management and treatment linkages to reduce recidivism and assist reentry.

More mental health help in justice system
The law expands how Justice and Mental Health grants can be used. Funds can support co-responder teams, plus more local treatment and case management for justice-involved people and recent releases. Jails and prisons can run suicide-prevention programs with ongoing risk checks. States and localities can staff and integrate the 988 suicide and mental health hotline. Prosecutors can receive training on starting and running diversion programs.
24/7 mental health crisis teams
Teams funded by these grants must, when practical, offer 24/7 response to mental health crisis calls. Part of the team may sit in a 911 call center to speed help. These rules apply to funded teams now.
