Kid PROOF Act of 2025
This bill amends the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to expand substance abuse and suicide prevention services for children, adolescents, and young adults (up to age 25). It requires eligible providers - like pediatric specialists, emergency departments, and children’s hospitals - to offer parents or guardians counseling on preventing overdose/suicide and provide supplies to reduce access to lethal means (e.g., safe storage containers). The bill allocates at least $2 million annually in grants to fund these prevention programs through eligible entities, with funding authorized for fiscal years 2026-2030. It directly affects young people at risk of substance misuse or self-harm and their caregivers.
