Latino Youth Mental Health Empowerment Act

This bill requires a government health agency called SAMHSA to focus on mental health issues among Hispanic and Latino young people. SAMHSA would need to create an education and outreach campaign to spread awareness about mental health and help reduce the stigma around it in this community. The agency would also have to conduct studies on mental health among Hispanic and Latino youth, look into ways to increase the number of mental health professionals serving this community, and publish reports on what they find.
