Campus Mental Health Action Tracker Grants
The Campus Mental Health Action Tracker (“the Tracker”) Grants provide funding to support post-secondary institutions in onboarding to and using the Campus Mental Health Action Tracker, specifically in completing their assessments as part of their work to document their progress with regards campus mental health and/or align their policies and practices with the National Standard for Mental Health and Well-Being for Post-Secondary Students (“the Standard”). The grants are intended to help institutions address practical barriers to completing their Tracker assessment, engagement, data collection, and planning.
