Grant programs established for various purposes related to children's mental health, provisions governing long-term care consultation services modified, children's mental health service rates modified, psychiatric residential treatment facility working group established, reports required, and money appropriated.

HF 671 establishes two new grant programs to improve children's mental health services in Minnesota. It creates a competitive grant for training direct care staff in residential facilities and day treatment programs (via the "youth care professional grant"), requiring trauma-informed curricula and a registry for trained staff. It also launches a "high-fidelity wraparound grant" to fund comprehensive, family-driven mental health support for children with serious challenges, prioritizing evidence-based models. The bill modifies rates for certain children's mental health services, establishes a working group for psychiatric residential facilities, and appropriates funding for these initiatives. These changes primarily affect licensed residential facilities, day treatment programs, community service providers, and counties delivering children's mental health services.
