HB 1590 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Supporting student success through instruction in self-resiliency skills.

HB 1590 requires Washington public schools to teach self-resiliency skills - including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and problem-solving - through research-based, culturally sustaining curricula aligned with existing learning standards. The bill allocates annual state funding (2025-2030) to prioritize high-poverty schools and those in high-risk communities for implementing these programs, with schools required to report on student outcomes. It encourages coordination with existing mental health support efforts like school counseling and suicide prevention initiatives. The funding expires August 1, 2031, and applies to all public school districts, charter schools, and state-tribal education compact schools.
