Student Mental Health Support: Emergency Numbers on ID Cards.

New rules aim to improve student access to mental health crisis support. Colleges will be required to include phone numbers for mental health organizations on student ID cards or publish them on their websites. This is intended to help students quickly find support during difficult times.
Key points
Colleges issuing student ID cards must include contact information for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Crisis Text Line, and a campus mental health center.
Colleges not issuing ID cards must publish this contact information on their websites.
These changes will take effect one year after the law is enacted, allowing institutions time to comply.
