Requires colleges to plan mental health and suicide prevention programs on campuses.
The problem
College students face high rates of mental health challenges and suicide. Many campuses lack organized prevention plans and coordinated mental health resources.
The proposal
Bill would require colleges to develop comprehensive mental health and suicide prevention plans. Plans would include screening, counseling, training, and crisis response procedures.
The impact
College students, staff, and families benefit from better mental health services. Schools must develop new programs and allocate resources to support student wellbeing.
Organized suicide prevention plans with early warning systems can identify at-risk students before crisis occurs. Better coordination between campus health, counseling, and emergency services improves response times.
Required planning ensures colleges address mental health as a priority. Students get consistent access to counseling and mental health resources across all campuses.
Campus-wide training and awareness programs help normalize mental health discussions. Students become more likely to seek help when depression and anxiety are treated as health issues, not character flaws.
Targeted screening identifies first-generation, low-income, and LGBTQ+ students who face higher mental health risks. Early intervention provides support before crises develop.
Colleges must hire additional counselors, crisis staff, and coordinators. Smaller schools with limited budgets may struggle to afford these new requirements.
Screening programs collect sensitive mental health information about students. Questions arise about data storage, sharing between departments, and potential misuse of personal information.
Mandatory screening could lead to over-identification of students as high-risk. Students might avoid campus health services if they fear being flagged in a system.
Bill does not provide federal funding to help colleges pay for new programs. Schools must cover costs through tuition increases or budget cuts elsewhere.

Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
