Bill > HR2862

This bill, the "Campaign to Prevent Suicide Act," requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a national suicide prevention media campaign. The campaign aims to prevent suicide, educate the public on addressing suicide and suicidal thoughts, and increase awareness of suicide prevention resources like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The bill authorizes $10 million in funding per year from 2022 to 2026 for the campaign, which will involve testing and evaluating advertising, assessing the campaign's effectiveness, and creating educational materials for television and social media platforms. The campaign will also target certain high-risk local areas and populations, and collaborate with various stakeholders, including mental health professionals and crisis response providers.
