Promote mental-health outreach for AANHPI communities

Judy Chu introduced the Stop Mental Health Stigma in Our Communities Act of 2025. The proposed bill would direct the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to develop a national outreach and education strategy to promote mental health and reduce stigma around mental-health conditions and substance-use disorders in AANHPI communities. It would also improve research and data collection on AANHPI youth and examine ways to increase AANHPI representation in the behavioral-health workforce.

Context: The passage does not specify the strategy’s content or how the proposed research and workforce review would be carried out.
