Latino Youth Mental Health Empowerment Act
Current understanding
HR6226 (Latino Youth Mental Health Empowerment Act) was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The bill directs federal attention to mental health services and empowerment for Latino youth, a population that studies have identified as facing disparities in access to culturally competent care. As introduced, the measure has no enacted text or committee findings and its practical effect on the affected group cannot yet be assessed.
