Mental Health for Latinos Act of 2025

HR 4723, the Mental Health for Latinos Act of 2025, requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to create a new outreach strategy specifically for Hispanic and Latino communities to improve mental health access and reduce stigma. The strategy must address cultural and language needs, provide information on culturally appropriate treatments, and involve community members in its development. It mandates annual reports to Congress on the strategy’s impact on mental health outcomes and allocates $1 million for fiscal year 2026 to fund implementation. This bill directly affects Hispanic and Latino individuals facing barriers to mental health care due to cultural, linguistic, or systemic factors.
