Plain-English Summary

The federal government would fund and organize a public awareness campaign to help schools teach students about suicide prevention resources and mental health support. Schools would receive information and materials to share with young people about where to find help if they or their peers are struggling. This aims to reduce youth suicide by making sure students know what resources are available to them.
