Bill overview
The Timely Mental Health for Foster Youth Act requires states to provide initial mental health screenings to children entering foster care within 30 days and comprehensive assessments within 60 days if a mental health issue is identified. The Department of Health and Human Services will provide technical assistance to states to implement these requirements, and data will be collected and reported to Congress to track the number of children receiving screenings and services. This aims to ensure that foster youth receive timely mental health support.
