Helping Education After Loss Act of 2022 or the HEAL Act of 2022
This bill requires the Department of Education (ED) to award grants to eligible entities to fund additional school-based mental health providers and acute crisis response activities. An eligible entity is a local educational agency that serves a school that has experienced a violent or traumatic crisis.
ED must, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, conduct a special resource study of communities that have experienced a violent or traumatic crisis.
