This bill sets up a national plan to improve mental and behavioral health in Hispanic and Latino communities. Federal health officials would work with community and advocacy groups to create outreach and education that fits different cultures and languages, is age-appropriate, explains common mental health symptoms, and shares proven, culturally adapted treatments. The plan must involve community members in making materials and promote a whole‑health view that links mental and physical health.
The government must publish a yearly public report, starting within one year after the bill becomes law, to show whether the plan is improving mental health outcomes. The bill also allows $1 million for this work in fiscal year 2026.
