AI Summary
This bill aims to reauthorize a grant program for screening, assessment, and treatment services for maternal mental health and substance use disorders. The key provisions include: expanding the grant program to include Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations; prioritizing grant applications that partner with community-based organizations, are located in areas with high rates of adverse maternal health outcomes or disparities, and operate in health professional shortage areas; allowing grant funds to be used for training health care providers on trauma-informed care, culturally- and linguistically-appropriate services, and best practices; and establishing a national maternal mental health hotline to provide emotional support, information, and referrals for pregnant and postpartum women and their families. The bill also increases the authorization of appropriations for the grant program from $5 million to $24 million per year from 2023 to 2028.
