JED Foundation

The JED Campus program is a nationwide initiative of The Jed Foundation (JED) designed to guide schools through a collaborative process of comprehensive systems, program and policy development with customized support to build upon existing student mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention efforts. JED Campus schools embark on a multi-year strategic partnership with JED that not only assesses and enhances the work that is already being done, but helps create positive, lasting, systemic change in the campus community.

The University of Richmond has joined the JED Campus Program to help guide us through a collaborative process of comprehensive systems, program and policy development with customized support to build upon existing student mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention efforts. A Well-being Task Force has been appointed and charged with outlining a well-being strategic plan that will imbed health and wellness as a core pillar of University culture.
