The report grades states based on how well they've developed eight different kinds of programs and services to improve school mental health. A law passed in 2021 making funding available for school-based mental health services, and Senate leaders this year have pledged to put together a legislative package addressing mental health, including improving kids' access to care.There have been several Congressional hearings on the issue recently, where both young people, providers and advocates have testified.
