Included in the bill were mental health reforms spearheaded by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA), which were largely based off his bill, H.R. 2646, the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. “With the House’s strong support of these critical reforms, we’re one step closer to delivering meaningful reforms to families in mental health crisis,” said Upton and Murphy. “We have worked to reduce stigma around this important issue, and let folks know it’s okay to ask for help. Throughout our multi-year, multi-Congress effort to advance solutions to a broken system, we’ve raised awareness and helped identify ways to help those around us. These reforms have been a long time coming and we look forward to the Senate quickly following in our footsteps.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
