The main purpose of the Hope Heals Act of 2026 is to improve how various government departments handle mental health crises. The goal is to enhance awareness and prevention of these crises by assessing current practices and identifying areas for better coordination and support. Key provisions of the Act require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct an assessment within 180 days of the law's enactment. This assessment will look at how well different Executive departments work together to identify individuals in mental health crises and those who may be at risk.
