Bill overview
The EARLY Minds Act aims to improve mental health services for children and adolescents by modifying how states use federal block grants for community mental health. Specifically, it requires states to describe the evidence-based prevention and early intervention programs they offer and allows them to dedicate up to 5% of their grant funding to support these programs. The bill also mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services report annually on states’ efforts and their impact on reducing delays in care and the severity of mental health issues.
