Enhancing Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Through Campus Planning Act

This bill would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require the Secretary of Education, working with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, to create and share one or more model mental health and suicide prevention plans for colleges and universities within 1 year. The model plans would be updated at least every 5 years. The Secretary would offer technical assistance to colleges that choose to adopt plans based on the models and would report to Congress on these activities. The bill states that it does not create new legal requirements for colleges.
