Student Mental Health: Crisis Contacts on ID Cards
New rules aim to improve student access to mental health support. Colleges will be required to include crisis hotline numbers on student ID cards or publish them on their websites. These changes will take effect one year after the law is enacted, providing students with easier access to support during difficult times.
Key points
Colleges issuing student ID cards must include contact information for crisis hotlines (e.g., 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line) and campus mental health centers.
Colleges not issuing ID cards must publish this information on their institution's website.
The goal is to provide students with quick and easy access to mental health support in times of crisis.
