JED’s programs are grounded in our Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention for Colleges and Universities, developed in collaboration with SPRC. This evidence-based model can be used to assess efforts currently being made on campus, identifying existing strengths and areas for improvement.
