Grant-supported activities could include student organizations promoting peer mental health awareness, suicide prevention, or substance-use education, as well as helping students recognize warning signs and respond appropriately.

Grant applicants would have to describe plans to seek input from experienced students and to reach and support students in online, hybrid, distance-learning, or other remote programs, including through virtual engagement and telehealth-enabled resources when appropriate.

The Health and Human Services Secretary would, as practicable and subject to available appropriations, provide program information to institutions that applied for but did not receive a grant if they plan similar activities.

The Lifeline program would encourage states, state education agencies, and colleges to put the hotline number on newly issued school identification cards and encourage colleges to run awareness campaigns for all students, including remote learners. The Secretary would consult relevant agencies, including the Secretary of Education, on an awareness plan.
