Key Points

This bill expands federal grants to help doctors and hospitals prevent suicide and drug overdoses among children and young adults. It adds pediatricians, family doctors, and children's hospitals to the list of groups that can receive this money.
The policy allows healthcare providers to give parents and guardians counseling on how to keep their children safe. This includes teaching them the best ways to prevent a crisis before it happens.
Doctors could also use the money to provide parents with safety supplies. These supplies are meant to stop children from getting to things they could use to hurt themselves, such as medications or other dangerous items.
The bill extends the funding for these programs from 2026 through 2030. It requires that at least $2 million be spent each year on these specific prevention and recovery efforts.
