Youth Mental Health Research Act

This bill establishes a new NIH-led Youth Mental Health Research Initiative to coordinate federal research on youth mental health. It directs the National Institute of Mental Health, along with two other NIH institutes, to study how to build community resilience and improve mental health services in places where youth live, learn, and work. The initiative is authorized to receive $100 million annually from 2024 through 2028. This funding supports research aimed at developing better approaches to help young people, though it does not directly change healthcare access or services for individuals.
