Bill overview
The Suicide Prevention Assistance Act aims to improve access to mental health services by establishing a grant program for primary care offices. This program will provide funding to hire clinical social workers and implement screening procedures for self-harm and suicide. The grants, capped at $500,000 over two years, are designed to encourage primary care providers to identify and assist patients at risk, and to refer them to longer-term care when needed. The program also includes requirements for reporting data to the Department of Health and Human Services and Congress.
