Tennessee SB1418 creates a volunteer database for mental health professionals to provide services after traumatic events in schools.

Tennessee SB1418 establishes the "Tennessee Mental Health Volunteer Alliance Act," creating a statewide volunteer database of qualified mental health professionals. These professionals can volunteer to provide on-site or virtual mental healthcare services at schools or public facilities after acts of gun violence, significant traumatic events, or disasters. The Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services manages the database, verifying the qualifications of volunteers and processing requests from schools or public facilities.
