This Minnesota House bill proposes appropriating funds from the general fund to the Department of Health for the development of a suicide prevention curriculum. Specifically, it provides a grant to the Division of Indian Work to create and pilot a culturally specific suicide prevention program for Native American youth. The curriculum aims to engage students in discussions about mental health, emotional intelligence, depression, and suicide, with the goal of increasing awareness of mental wellness and providing practical tools for support. The appropriation is a one-time allocation.
