Bill overview
This bill, the Suicide Prevention Assistance Act, aims to increase access to suicide prevention services by providing grants to primary care offices. These grants will allow offices to hire clinical social workers to screen patients for self-harm and suicide, offer short-term support, and refer individuals to longer-term care. The program will be overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, which will also develop standards for screening and require regular reports on the program’s effectiveness.
