The Jed Foundation

Research shows that parents are still a leading source of support and guidance for today’s college students.

If you have a child in college, your influence is important during the college years and the transition into adulthood.

The Jed Foundation’s programs give you the information and perspective you need to recognize the signs of a potential mental health problem and help your child find the proper support and treatment.
