"Mental Health Early Action on Campus Act"; requires institutions of higher education to implement mental health programs and services.

The "Mental Health Early Action on Campus Act" requires New Jersey colleges and universities to implement specific mental health programs for students. Institutions must create a mental health awareness program including annual student orientation sessions, website resource hubs, and online screenings for conditions like depression and anxiety. They must also establish student peer support programs following best practices and form partnerships with local mental health providers to meet a benchmark of one clinical staff member per 1,250 students. A new Technical Assistance Center will develop standards, monitor progress, and share data to improve campus mental health services.
