Nearly 46,000 Americans died by suicide in 2020. The Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act would support suicide prevention efforts with the potential to save lives. With 15 days left of the year, I call on Congress to pass this legislation.

We must act decisively to support those suffering from mental illness and substance use disorder. Congress only has 14 days left to pass the Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act, which includes 6 of my bills and would provide relief to millions of Americans.
