Campus Lifeline Act
The Campus Lifeline Act expands federal grant programs to support student-led mental health and substance use disorder interventions at institutions of higher education. It authorizes funding for peer awareness activities, such as suicide prevention education and digital campaigns that encourage students to seek help, while requiring grantees to provide accessible resources for online and distance-learning students. Additionally, the bill directs the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline program to coordinate with schools and universities to list hotline numbers on student identification cards and promote behavioral health resources through public service announcements.
