Pupil health: mental health: model referral protocols.

Summary

The bill directs the California Department of Education to revise its model referral protocols to include equity‑centered mental‑health guidance for pupils affected by immigration raids or deportations, and requires local school districts to adopt matching policies. It also creates a new mental‑health framework that outlines screening, culturally responsive care, family‑community partnerships, and telehealth options. The changes aim to protect vulnerable immigrant‑family students and ensure consistent, trauma‑informed support across the state.
