1. Short title This Act may be cited as the National Parent and Youth Helpline Act . 2. Findings Congress finds as follows: (1) There are approximately 174,000,000 parents, caregivers, and youth in the United States. (2) Many parents, caregivers, and youth often do not have immediate access to a caring and supportive person to help them address various personal challenges. (3) Parents, caregivers, and youth could benefit from an effective helpline that fosters the strengths parents have, which would improve family and peer relationships, as well as community life and society overall. (4) Congress recognizes that helpline prevention services will empower parents and caregivers to positively address child development issues and help address child maltreatment, drug and alcohol problems, mental health, and personal growth and development. (5) Congress recognizes that helpline prevention services are trauma-informed by reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors with weekly, evidence-based mutual support groups. 3.
