Additionally, the bill (1) sets up an office within SAMHSA to coordinate behavioral health activities, (2) requires a national suicide prevention media campaign, and (3) establishes various grants. The grants include
 
 
a pilot program for mobile crisis care teams that respond to behavioral health crises rather than law enforcement,
 
a capital improvement program for certain behavioral health facilities, and
 
a program for supporting the implementation of federal mental health parity provisions that require health insurance issuers to provide equivalent coverage for mental health services as they provide for medical and surgical services.
 
 
The bill also expands certain behavioral health education and training programs to encompass education and training related to crisis management.
