What this bill would do
The Pride In Mental Health Act of 2025 aims to amend title V of the Public Health Service Act to protect LGBTQ+ youth and their families. It directs the Secretary to establish a grant program focused on improving mental health and substance abuse outcomes for these specific populations. Funds from these grants can be used for various services, including crisis intervention, cultural competency training, and school bullying prevention. The bill also prohibits the use of these funds for conversion therapy. Additionally, it mandates a Federal survey to measure psychological distress and requires the updating of specific mental health reports.
