<p class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif">Senate Bill 6514, Suicide Prevention and Behavioral Health in Higher Education, was enacted in 2018. One of the bill elements being implemented is the collection of data regarding
behavioral health programs and services on an annual basis. The goal of this effort is to determine postsecondary institutions’ behavioral health and suicide prevention assets and needs. These data will inform how the state legislature prioritizes investments
in this area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Body"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif;color:windowtext">What is the goal of this effort?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif;color:windowtext">The overall goal of this data gathering effort is to assess assets and needs regarding behavioral health and suicide prevention services, programs, and awareness
at postsecondary institutions in Washington. These data will inform how the state legislature prioritizes investments in this area. For example, this year the state made $420,000 available for grants to help postsecondary institutions meet their behavioral
health needs. Future funding depends on our collective action to demonstrate need and progress through data collection, strategic planning, and comprehensive programming. Upon completion of this survey, your institution will be eligible to apply for future
grant funding when available.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Body"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif;color:windowtext">Who should complete this survey?
<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif;color:windowtext">It is recommended that the senior student services officer – typically the VP or Dean for Student Services – complete the survey. However, we expect that this
effort will require gathering data from several institutional departments that may include but may not be limited to the Registrar, Health and/or Counseling Services, Veteran and Military Resource Office, Residence Life, Facilities, Security, and others.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif;color:windowtext">These data will help the state legislature prioritize investments in supporting student behavioral health and suicide prevention. In addition, this work will
provide institutions feedback about support for student success that exists at their institution and at similar institutions around the state. Finally, the data will help inform other aspects of SB 6514, which include grants to resource-limited postsecondary
institutions in Washington and development of a publicly available resource designed to improve behavioral health among postsecondary students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT",sans-serif;color:windowtext">This project will result in an annual report to the Legislature beginning in December 2019. All data reported in this survey will remain confidential. Data
will be aggregated (e.g., by total responses, by type of postsecondary institution). Although a list of participating institutions may appear in the report, names of individual reporters will not appear, nor will any data be reported in connection with individual
institutions. Participating institutions will be provided with a report of aggregate data. These data will also be used to identify and share promising practices to improve student behavioral health across the state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
