Supporting Farmworkers' Mental Health Act
This bill amends an existing program to expand mental health support for agricultural workers. It updates the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network to specifically include "farm work" alongside ranching, allowing funding for peer-to-peer mental health programs for farmworkers. The changes require the network to support initiatives delivering mental health assistance directly to those working in farming, ranching, and related agricultural occupations. The bill also extends the program's funding deadline from 2023 to 2028.
