Bill Summary
AN ACT TO REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO SHARE THE SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE PHONE NUMBER AND NC PEER WARMLINE PHONE NUMBER IN VARIOUS WAYS.
AI Summary
This bill requires all types of schools in North Carolina, including public schools, charter schools, regional schools, laboratory schools, private church schools, and qualified nonpublic schools, as well as community colleges and constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina system, to prominently display the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (988) and NC Peer Warmline (855-733-7762) phone numbers in multiple locations. These locations include student IDs for grades 6-12, school websites, home screens of school-issued electronic devices, school agendas or calendars, documents related to suicide awareness activities, and registration documents. Schools must verify the phone numbers annually and update them if they change. The bill aims to increase awareness and accessibility of mental health support resources for students, providing them with easy access to crisis support services. The requirements will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, giving institutions time to implement the necessary changes.
