Congressional Record—Senate Floor Statements--January 22, 2008

…this bill. I am proud to have cosponsored the telemental health language in this bill. The bill would authorize a demonstration project to use telemental health services for suicide prevention and for the treatment of Indian youth in Indian communities. The Indian Health Service would carry out a 4-year demonstration program under which five tribes, tribal organizations or urban Indian organizations with telehealth capabilities could use telemental health services in youth suicide prevention and treatment.
