Mental Health for Latinos Act of 2023

HR 4884, the Mental Health for Latinos Act of 2023, directs the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to create a culturally tailored mental health outreach strategy for Hispanic and Latino communities. The strategy must address language needs, reduce stigma, provide information on culturally appropriate treatments, and consider pandemic impacts, developed with community input. It requires annual reports to Congress on the strategy's effectiveness and authorizes $1 million for fiscal year 2024. The bill directly affects Hispanic and Latino populations by aiming to improve access to relevant mental health resources and outcomes.
