## Summary

**This bill would create a competitive federal grant program to fund models that deliver stabilization services for people with serious thoughts of suicide.** It targets community and public providers and allows support for outpatient care, virtual services, and peer support. - Individuals and families: People with serious suicidal thoughts could gain access to short-term clinical interventions that reduce acute crisis and imminent suicide risk. - Local providers and schools: Community health centers, school- and campus-based clinics, crisis centers, and children’s hospitals could receive competitive grants to implement evidence-based stabilization models. Grants may run up to 5 years, are not renewable, and must include a plan to continue services after funding ends. - State agencies, territories, and tribes: State mental health and health agencies, U.S. territories, and Indian tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply and would receive training, technical assistance, and program evaluations to inform best practices. *Would authorize $30.0 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, increasing federal spending by about $150.0 million over that period.*
