Mental Health for Latinos Act of 2025
The Mental Health for Latinos Act of 2025 requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to develop and implement a culturally tailored mental health outreach strategy for Hispanic and Latino communities. This strategy must address diverse cultural and language needs, reduce stigma, provide evidence-based treatments adapted to these communities, and involve community members in its design. The bill mandates annual reports to Congress on the strategy's effectiveness in improving mental health outcomes and authorizes $1 million in funding for fiscal year 2026. It directly affects Hispanic and Latino populations by targeting barriers to accessing culturally appropriate mental health care.
