Recognizing the significant and often overlooked behavioral health needs experienced by individuals and families affected by rare diseases, and for other purposes.

This resolution formally acknowledges the significant behavioral health challenges, such as anxiety and caregiver burnout, faced by individuals and families dealing with rare diseases. It calls on federal agencies to prioritize mental health support within rare disease initiatives and encourages the expansion of standardized peer support programs. The bill also urges improvements in workforce training, cultural competency, and insurance reimbursement to ensure equitable access to care. Ultimately, it serves as a statement of recognition rather than a law that creates new funding or mandates specific regulations.
