National Parent and Youth Helpline Act

This bill creates a National Parent and Youth Helpline by authorizing federal grants to a nonprofit organization to establish a toll-free service offering emotional support, guidance, and resources to parents, caregivers, and youth across the United States. The helpline would provide assistance through phone calls, text messages, and live chats for issues such as emotional distress, substance abuse, peer relationships, and educational concerns, while also maintaining a website with relevant information and distributing outreach materials nationwide. The legislation authorizes up to $20 million annually from 2027 through 2032 to fund the program for a maximum of five years, with priority given to organizations experienced in operating national helplines and running evidence-based support groups. The grant recipient would be required to submit regular performance reports to the Secretary and a final report to Congress within three years of enactment detailing the program's implementation and effectiveness.
