Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2023

H.R. 472, the Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2023, aims to improve mental health support for first responders by requiring the Department of Justice to develop a plan for new treatment and prevention programs. The bill directs federal officials to identify specific ways to provide care for public safety officers and emergency dispatchers suffering from job-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or acute stress disorder. If passed, this legislation would provide Congress with the necessary legislative language and cost estimates to establish and fund these mental health resources nationwide.
