EMT Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a pilot program called the Public Safety Mental Health Fellowship Program within one year of the law taking effect. The program would award fellowships, which may include stipends, for graduate-level training of mental health and substance use treatment professionals who serve emergency responders such as firefighters, police, and emergency medical workers. Fields covered include psychiatry, nursing, social work, psychology, marriage and family therapy, and counseling. The bill would authorize $10 million per year for fiscal years 2028 through 2033 and require the Secretary to send Congress reports on the program after 2 years and 5 years.
