    Key Takeaways

    • Requires new teachers to complete youth mental health training as part of their credential requirements.
    • Expands existing health education requirements in teacher preparation programs to include mental health awareness.
    • Aims to improve student mental health support through better-prepared educators.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Ávila Farías proposes expanding California's teacher preparation requirements to include youth mental health education, adding this component to the existing health education curriculum mandated for teaching credentials.

    The legislation modifies teacher credentialing standards by requiring professional preparation programs to incorporate basic youth mental health understanding alongside current health education topics, which include nutrition, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and substance abuse effects. According to the bill's findings, one in five California youth face mental health challenges, with impacts extending to their families and communities.

    The Commission on Teacher Credentialing would oversee implementation through its accreditation process for teacher preparation programs. The measure applies to candidates seeking preliminary multiple subject, single subject, or education specialist teaching credentials through university-based programs, internships, or other approved preparation pathways.
