SF 1561 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Grant programs establishment for various purposes related to children's mental health

SF 1561 establishes two new grant programs to improve children's mental health services in Minnesota. It creates a "youth care professional grant" to fund trauma-informed training for direct care staff working in children's residential facilities, certified programs, and day treatment settings. The bill also creates "high-fidelity wraparound grants" to support community-based providers and counties in delivering comprehensive, child-driven mental health services for children with serious challenges. Both programs require specific training curricula, documentation of service costs, and the creation of a registry for trained staff, with funding administered through the Department of Human Services.
