Child Suicide Prevention and Lethal Means Safety Act
HR 7265 establishes federal grant programs to reduce youth suicide rates among individuals under 26. It funds health care providers and schools to implement evidence-based training on suicide risk assessment, safe firearm storage counseling, and culturally appropriate prevention strategies. Grants support health systems in educating providers on identifying at-risk youth and addressing racial disparities, while schools develop curricula on lethal means safety and suicide prevention. The bill allocates $20 million for health programs and $10 million for educational curricula over 2025-2028, with annual reports to Congress.
