H.Res. 857 is a congressional resolution expressing support for designating the week of November 3, 2025, as "National School Psychology Week." The resolution honors school psychologists—the roughly 44,000 specially trained professionals working in American schools—who provide mental health services and academic support to students. According to the resolution, school psychologists play a critical role in identifying learning barriers, promoting student mental health, preventing behavioral problems, and helping students develop into successful adults. The resolution asks Americans to recognize and celebrate the contributions of these professionals through appropriate ceremonies and activities during that week. This is a symbolic measure with no direct funding or regulatory requirements; it simply encourages awareness of the importance of school psychology services in education.
