Bill overview
This bill would require California schools to include mental health education as part of the standard curriculum for students in grades 1 through 12. Specifically, it would add mental health education to the existing health curriculum for elementary schools and explicitly include it as a required course in the curriculum for middle and high schools. The bill aims to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and provide students with the resources they need to address mental health challenges. It also seeks to ensure equitable access to mental health education for all California students.
