The Mental Health Crisis Response Act of 2025 aims to improve how communities handle mental health emergencies by promoting health-centered responses. The main goal is to support local and state governments in creating or enhancing systems that address behavioral health crises without solely relying on law enforcement. The key provisions of the Act include the establishment of a grant program by the Attorney General, which will provide funding to eligible jurisdictions. These jurisdictions can be state, tribal, or local governments that manage emergency services.
