Improving Mental Health and Wellness in Schools Act

This bill amends the National School Lunch Act to require public schools receiving federal nutrition funding to integrate mental health into their wellness policies. It mandates schools to establish multidisciplinary teams (including school-based mental health providers when available) to develop, implement, and update these policies, specifically adding mental health promotion, assessments, and resilient school environments. The bill updates reporting deadlines for these policies, changing the required review year from 2014 to 2026. These changes directly affect all participating schools by expanding their wellness policy requirements to include mental health support and services.
