Pride In Mental Health Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill creates a new grant program to help LGBTQ+ youth with their mental health and substance abuse needs. It sets aside 20 million dollars each year from 2026 through 2030 for health organizations and schools to provide these services.
• The money will pay for crisis help, training for caregivers, and bullying prevention programs in schools. It also aims to help families learn how to support their children through new programs that focus on family acceptance.
• Organizations that receive these grants are strictly forbidden from using the money for conversion therapy. This means they cannot use federal funds for any practice that tries to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
• The government will also conduct a new national survey to better understand the mental health challenges these young people face. All personal information collected in the survey will be kept private and confidential by law.
• The bill requires the government to update its public reports on LGBTQ+ health. It also calls for a special study on the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth who are in the foster care system.
