HR 3771 United States House · 118th Congress

Health Minds for a Better Future Act

This bill establishes a non-paid, two-year Middle School Mental Health Task Force within the Education and Health and Human Services departments. The Task Force, composed of federal secretaries, regional educators, school counselors, and parent representatives, will study existing resources (like online tools and community services) available to middle school educators and parents for supporting students with mental health needs. It requires the Task Force to submit an annual report to Congress detailing its findings on these resources, without creating new programs or funding. The bill directly affects middle school educators, parents, and school administrators by examining current support systems, not by changing policy or providing new services.
