He says he introduced the Prevent Youth Suicide Act to get help into schools before a crisis.

“The Prevent Youth Suicide Act gives high school teachers and staff the tools to act before a crisis, protect our kids, and help them thrive.”

What the record shows ·

He sponsored the Prevent Youth Suicide Act twice: H.R. 5413, introduced September 12, 2023, and H.R. 5482, introduced September 18, 2025.
