Learn about and sign our petition to support the bill we co-sponsored to mandate mental health education for students in grades 1-12. Senate Bill 224 (Portantino) – Mental Health Education for Grades 1-12. State Senator Anthony J. Portantino introduced SB 224 to require that all students in California receive age-appropriate mental health education. The bill, which NAMI California co-sponsored, ensures that students in grades 1 and 12 will receive mental health education from a qualified instructor at least one time during elementary school, one time during middle school, and one time during high school.
