Bill overview
The Pursuing Equity in Mental Health Act aims to address disparities in mental healthcare for youth, particularly those from racial and ethnic minority groups. It does this primarily by modifying grant programs to prioritize services for these communities, launching research into mental health disparities, and establishing competencies for health professions training to better address these issues. The bill also directs the development of an outreach and education strategy to reduce stigma and promote behavioral health within these groups, alongside additional funding for key research institutes.
