The 2025 Senate Bill 245 establishes a pilot school-centered mental health program in Wisconsin, aimed at providing mental health support to at-risk pupils and their families. The bill mandates the Department of Health Services to allocate funds to a provider for operating this program in two schools—one in a rural district and one in a suburban or urban district—over the course of two school years. The program is designed to offer comprehensive services, including full-time therapist and family coach positions, year-round support, evidence-based therapy, family coaching, and collaboration with school staff to develop tailored interventions for students.

Additionally, the bill requires the selected provider to submit a report to the Department of Health Services within six months after the program's conclusion, detailing its impact on pupils and families. This report must include information on changes in social determinants of health, mental health symptoms, and academic performance. The Department of Health Services is then tasked with distributing this report to the legislature, ensuring transparency and accountability regarding the program's effectiveness.
