  54. college students as well as analyzing the college environments as in classrooms,
  55. you know,
  56. social life things that will incorporate students that
  57. by doing all this analyzation they will get
  58. to the root of the problem because they're
  59. gonna find that they're going to take into a
  60. count
  61. the environment and everything around it
  62. and
  63. they will not have a broadened approach. Like many other bills and mental health
  64. initiatives have had,
  65. they will take a more personalized approach and look at this problem.

  74. there was a rise of mental health issues.
  75. Many universities are not equipped to handle the
  76. numbers of mental and nist that are going on
  77. through this bill or will report numbers to Congress to
  78. shine light on this issue as a government issue.
