The proposal would provide funding and support to hire more mental health professionals like counselors, psychologists, and social workers in schools that serve low-income communities and have the greatest need for these services. This would help students get access to mental health care at school, potentially reducing barriers like transportation and cost that prevent many young people from getting help. The bill would affect schools, students, mental health workers, and families in under-resourced areas across the country.
