Booker's Senate office announced that he introduced the Community Mental Wellness Worker Training Act, which would create federal grants for behavioral health organizations to train community mental wellness workers who identify mental health concerns and connect people to treatment and recovery resources.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback window, Booker took concrete legislative action to expand mental health care capacity, but the bill was only introduced and therefore does not by itself deliver new services or funding.

The Senate Appropriations Committee's FY2026 LHHS Congressionally Directed Spending public-law chart lists a SAMHSA-funded item for the Department of New Jersey Veterans of Foreign Wars, Inc., NJ, for mental health services, with $280,000 requested by Booker. The committee page identifies these LHHS funded projects as included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, P.L. 119-75, signed February 3, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official appropriations records show enacted federal spending requested by Booker for mental health services in New Jersey, supporting delivery of continued investment, though this is narrower than the full mental health care and crisis services pledge.

Booker can receive federal same-term credit because official FY2026 appropriations records show enacted SAMHSA funding requested by him for mental health services in New Jersey. That directly satisfies the core promise to continue investing in mental health care, even though the documented enacted item is narrower than the full wording around crisis services. His introduced workforce bill further shows continued effort but is not needed on its own to establish delivery.
