Bill overview
The Prevent Youth Suicide Act requires the Secretary of Education to create a rule mandating that schools receiving federal funds implement protocols for suicide prevention, postvention, and trauma-informed care. This includes training staff to identify at-risk students, establishing referral systems for mental health support, and developing plans to support students and communities after a suicide. The bill also aims to foster a supportive school environment by promoting trauma-informed practices and reducing stigma around seeking help.
