Evidence-Based Youth Suicide Prevention Act of 2026

Summary

The measure would have the Secretary of Health and Human Services fund and oversee demonstration projects that develop, implement, and evaluate suicide‑prevention strategies for children and teens, especially in schools. It targets state education agencies, local school districts, tribal entities, and nonprofit or higher‑education partners, aiming to use approaches backed by strong, moderate, or promising evidence. The goal is to identify what works and scale it to reduce suicide attempts and improve student well‑being.
