This legislation keeps a mental health support program for farmers and ranchers going through 2030. It continues USDA grants to states, tribes, and nonprofits to offer counseling, helplines, and other stress support for people working in agriculture. It also lets grant money cover crisis lines, not just helplines and websites, so people can get urgent help when they need it .
The program encourages local connections so callers can be referred to trusted providers nearby, like community behavioral health clinics, health centers, rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, and critical access hospitals. The updated grant period runs from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 .
