Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act of 2022

This bill reauthorizes through FY2027, expands, and otherwise modifies various programs, grants, and related activities that focus on mental and behavioral health.

  • the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances Program,
