SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) More children and young adults die from suicide each year 
    than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, and 
    chronic lung disease combined.
        (2) Over 4,000 children and young adults tragically take their 
    lives every year, making suicide the third overall cause of death 
    between the ages of 10 and 24. According to the Centers for Disease 
    Control and Prevention, suicide is the third overall cause of death 
    among college-age students.
        (3) According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and 
    Control of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children 
    and young adults accounted for 15 percent of all suicides completed 
    in 2000.
        (4) From 1952 to 1995, the rate of suicide in children and 
    young adults tripled.
        (5) From 1980 to 1997, the rate of suicide among young adults 
    ages 15 to 19 increased 11 percent.
        (6) From 1980 to 1997, the rate of suicide among children ages 
    10 to 14 increased 109 percent.
        (7) According to the National Center of Health Statistics, 
    suicide rates among Native Americans range from 1.5 to 3 times the 
    national average for other groups, with young people ages 15 to 34 
    making up 64 percent of all suicides.
        (8) Congress has recognized that youth suicide is a public 
    health tragedy linked to underlying mental health problems and that 
    youth suicide early intervention and prevention activities are 
    national priorities.
        (9) Youth suicide early intervention and prevention have been 
    listed as urgent public health priorities by the President's New 
    Freedom Commission in Mental Health (2002), the Institute of 
    Medicine's Reducing Suicide: A National Imperative (2002), the 
    National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Goals and Objectives for 
    Action (2001), and the Surgeon General's Call to Action To Prevent 
    Suicide (1999).
        (10) Many States have already developed comprehensive statewide 
    youth suicide early intervention and prevention strategies that 
    seek to provide effective early intervention and prevention 
    services.
        (11) In a recent report, a startling 85 percent of college 
    counseling centers revealed an increase in the number of students 
    they see with psychological problems. Furthermore, the American 
    College Health Association found that 61 percent of college 
    students reported feeling hopeless, 45 percent said they felt so 
    depressed they could barely function, and 9 percent felt suicidal.
        (12) There is clear evidence of an increased incidence of 
    depression among college students. According to a survey described 
    in the Chronicle of Higher Education (February 1, 2002), depression 
    among freshmen has nearly doubled (from 8.2 percent to 16.3 
    percent). Without treatment, researchers recently noted that 
    ``depressed adolescents are at risk for school failure, social 
    isolation, promiscuity, self-medication with drugs and alcohol, and 
    suicide--now the third leading cause of death among 10-24 year 
    olds.''.
        (13) Researchers who conducted the study ``Changes in 
    Counseling Center Client Problems Across 13 Years'' (1989-2001) at 
    Kansas State University stated that ``students are experiencing 
    more stress, more anxiety, more depression than they were a decade 
    ago.'' (The Chronicle of Higher Education, February 14, 2003).
        (14) According to the 2001 National Household Survey on Drug 
    Abuse, 20 percent of full-time undergraduate college students use 
    illicit drugs.
        (15) The 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse also 
    reported that 18.4 percent of adults aged 18 to 24 are dependent on 
    or abusing illicit drugs or alcohol. In addition, the study found 
    that ``serious mental illness is highly correlated with substance 
    dependence or abuse. Among adults with serious mental illness in 
    2001, 20.3 percent were dependent on or abused alcohol or illicit 
    drugs, while the rate among adults without serious mental illness 
    was only 6.3 percent.''.
        (16) A 2003 Gallagher's Survey of Counseling Center Directors 
    found that 81 percent were concerned about the increasing number of 
    students with more serious psychological problems, 67 percent 
    reported a need for more psychiatric services, and 63 percent 
    reported problems with growing demand for services without an 
    appropriate increase in resources.
        (17) The International Association of Counseling Services 
    accreditation standards recommend 1 counselor per 1,000 to 1,500 
    students. According to the 2003 Gallagher's Survey of Counseling 
    Center Directors, the ratio of counselors to students is as high as 
    1 counselor per 2,400 students at institutions of higher education 
    with more than 15,000 students.
