AI Summary

This bill establishes a pilot program to provide a support structure for parents affected by the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program, jointly developed by the Department of Mental Health and a community-based organization specializing in peer-led support groups, will offer trauma-informed peer-led support groups in at least three school districts across the Commonwealth. The program will prioritize school districts with high concentrations of COVID-19 cases, poverty, and COVID-related unemployment, as well as large populations of students of color. The program will be staffed by the Department of Mental Health and operated by the community-based organization in partnership with the school districts. The program will exist until the COVID-19 pandemic recovery period is deemed complete, or up to three years after the expiration of the governor's COVID-19 state of emergency declaration, whichever is sooner.
