Pride In Mental Health Act of 2025

This bill funds mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth. It gives grants to schools, clinics, and community groups to offer crisis help, counseling, caregiver training, family support, and patient navigator services. It also calls for anti-bullying guidelines in schools, bringing mental health services into school systems, building evidence-based tools, and collecting better data on youth mental health.

Grant money cannot be used for conversion therapy. The bill defines conversion therapy and bars promoting it with these funds. It directs the federal health department to restore and update LGBTQ+ mental health resources and not include any that promote conversion therapy. It also creates a national survey of LGBTQ+ youth mental health with strong privacy rules and penalties if someone misuses personal data. The department must report on the needs of LGBTQ+ youth in foster care. The bill authorizes $20 million each year from 2026 to 2030.
