To: Congress
Pass the Mental Health on Campus Improvement Act
This bill is not high on Congress' priority list and will not pass without the support of their voters and constituents. This bill is important for college students to find the resources and help they need to be successful in the future.
Why is this important?
We started this petition to advocate for more effective behavioral and mental health services on college campuses. In 2011, the Association of University and College Counseling Center did a survey that found the ratio of counselors to students to be 1 to 1,879, when the recommended ratio is 1 to 1,000 for accreditation.
