Campus Lifeline Act of 2026

This bill changes federal suicide prevention programs under the Public Health Service Act. It allows campus grant funds to support student groups, including athletic teams and mental health clubs, that educate students about mental health, reduce stigma, and help peers showing warning signs of mental health or substance use disorders. It directs the 988 suicide prevention hotline program to conduct public awareness outreach and to encourage states and colleges to print the 988 hotline on newly issued identification cards. It also requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to consult with the Secretaries of Education and Transportation and other agencies when planning 988 awareness activities.
