The Mental Health Early Action on Campus (MHEAC) Act aims to address mental health services needs on college campuses through training, peer support, and community-campus partnerships.
The first phase of distributing FY25 Mental Health Early Action on Campus (MHEAC) grants to Illinois public universities is to award each institution a Base Institutional Grant equal to their MHEAC grant allocation for FY24. The Base Institutional Grants are for continuity in mental health services and support to students.
The second phase is the MHEAC Competitive Grants for public universities that are administered by the IBHE. The purpose of the Competitive Grants is to expand and enhance existing services and support innovation while complying with the requirements of the Mental Health Early Action on Campus Act.
