A BILL To amend the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to ensure protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth and their families.
AI Summary
This bill, the Pride in Mental Health Act, amends the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) to ensure protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, nonbinary, and Two Spirit (LGBTQ+) youth and their families. It requires the federal government to collect more data on abuse and neglect issues facing LGBTQ+ youth, provide cultural competency training for caregivers, and develop best practices and resources for supporting the mental and behavioral health of LGBTQ+ youth. The bill also establishes a new grant program to fund mental health services and resources specifically for LGBTQ+ youth, with a prohibition on using the funds for harmful "conversion therapy" practices. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to review and update federal reports on LGBTQ+ mental health and conduct a new national survey on the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth.
