Bill overview
This bill, the Supporting Farmworker Mental Health Act, aims to improve access to mental health support for farmworkers and those in related agricultural occupations. It reauthorizes the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN) Program through 2028 and expands its eligibility to include peer-to-peer mental health support programs.

Ultimately, the goal is to provide more accessible and targeted mental health resources to individuals working in agriculture.
