Last progress March 3, 2025 (10 months ago)
This bill continues and updates national programs that support the mental health of doctors, nurses, and other health workers. It keeps grants and training going through 2029, including peer-support and access to mental health care, and a CDC effort to teach health workers about getting help when they need it . It also tells agencies to give extra attention to projects that cut paperwork and other admin tasks that add stress for health workers . The underlying law’s funding years are updated from 2022–2024 to 2025–2029 to keep these efforts running .
In practice, this means more support programs at hospitals and clinics, longer-term training (at least three years) on handling mental health issues, and regular CDC reports on how the education effort is working .
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
