Over the years that Denison has been associated with JED, we’ve valued the quality of the research and been impressed by the practical structures we’ve been offered. We still “try to do our very best work each and every day,” but we have deeply appreciated the benefit of sound frameworks, and the sense that the things we are working on will make an impact.

From the start, the JED program has always been highly encouraging for us. The initial campus visit gave us a starting point to think about areas of improvement and discuss solutions. Throughout the process we have periodic calls with our campus rep to evaluate our progress, gain insights on how we can be more intentional in our work, and get valuable benchmarking to see how our efforts hold up compared to our peers.

In our efforts at UNH to develop and implement effective suicide prevention efforts, The Jed Foundation has been an invaluable partner for several years. JED has provided us with good counsel and direction, has been sensitive to the unique qualities of our institution, and guided us to choose among the best practices that might work well on our campus. UNH is much better for their efforts, and our students are healthier and safer. We are proud to mount The Jed Foundation logo on our Student Life website.

Participating in the JED Campus Program has been very helpful to Princeton in helping us organize our system-wide efforts at improving mental health and well-being, reducing student suicides, and reducing substance abuse. JED’s Comprehensive Approach has been useful in framing mental health as an institutional concern, and the recommendations generated through participation in the program has resulted in real change at Princeton. We are grateful for the expert consultation, and the support.

Participating in The Jed Foundation’s JED Campus Program and administering the Healthy Minds Study (HMS) to our students has given us an invaluable tool to better understand students’ attitudes and behaviors on campus. For example, the HMS data, showing the relationship between help seeking behavior and stigma on our campus, is illuminating and will greatly inform our programming efforts going forward.

Becoming a JED campus has given us a lot of structure and external eyes on what we do, which is so valuable to have somebody come in and look at our programs and services and how we’re staffed and what our protocols are and to help us see where we can do things better or differently or in a more enhanced way.

The Center on Young Adult Health and Development at the University of Maryland School of Public Health is pleased to support The Jed Foundation’s JED Campus. Our Center is dedicated to improving our understanding of factors that impact college student health, mental health, academic success and development and to guide policy recommendations based on research. We see JED Campus as an excellent complement to our work. JED Campus, by helping campuses assess their mental health programming, providing feedback and technical assistance to aid in enhancing planning and programming, and recognizing participating schools for their commitment to student mental health, will be a major step in informing schools about what we all have learned about what makes students healthier and more likely to succeed.

JED Campus is an important effort to increase information and accountability regarding suicide prevention efforts at colleges and universities. From our work in the Healthy Minds Study and other projects, our research team at Michigan has had an opportunity to gain a lot of information from the student surveys about suicide risk factors and related issues. JED Campus will help fill in the picture of what campuses are doing to address suicide prevention and how efforts might be improved.

NAMI supports The Jed Foundation’s JED Campus program and its focus on the need for colleges and universities to effectively address mental health issues on their campuses and in their school community. NAMI sees great value in JED Campus because it helps colleges and universities to assess their ability to meet the mental health needs of students, while focusing much needed attention on mental health promotion and suicide prevention. NAMI’s national survey of college students, released in November 2012, shows that students place a high priority on schools that recognize the importance of mental health in the well-being of their school community. Students with our NAMI on Campus Club program often advocate for schools to provide better mental health services and supports. JED Campus is vitally important to help guide colleges and universities in developing the programming and systems that ultimately enhance the health and well-being of students. At a time when the nation is calling for broader awareness about mental health issues and access to services and supports, this initiative goes a long way toward helping institutions of higher education understand how to get there.
