Requires public school instruction in suicide prevention to be provided in grades kindergarten through 12 and include certain elements.

This bill (A3607) requires all New Jersey public schools to provide suicide prevention instruction in every grade from kindergarten through 12th grade. It mandates that the State Board of Education revise curriculum standards within 180 days to include specific, age-appropriate elements such as recognizing warning signs, understanding mental health's role in wellness, addressing stigma, and identifying support resources. The instruction must be evidence-based and adapted to students' developmental levels. The law takes effect immediately for the first full school year after enactment.
