AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes an existing federal grant program for substance abuse treatment for children, adolescents, and young adults so that it also covers suicide. It adds pediatric and family health providers, children's mental health specialists, children's hospitals, hospital emergency departments, and Indian Health Service facilities to the list of groups that can receive grants. These providers, along with Indian tribes and tribal organizations, could use grants, with parental consent, to counsel parents or guardians on preventing overdose and suicide and to give them supplies to prevent misuse of lethal means. The bill renews the program's funding authorization for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 and requires at least $2,000,000 each year to go to the program's existing types of grants.
