For Professionals

Programs & Research 

We believe in a comprehensive, public health approach to preventing suicide and promoting mental health and well-being. The Jed Foundation’s programs are grounded in our Model for Comprehensive Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention for Colleges and Universities (i.e., the “Bubble Chart”), developed in collaboration with the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. This research-based model can be used to assess efforts currently being made on your campus, identify existing strengths and areas for improvement.

In developing our programming, we rely on the latest research as well as the knowledge, perspective and experience of those who work with college students every day. Input from our Scientific and Program Advisory Council, expert roundtables, and program-specific advisory boards helps make our programs relevant to campuses of any size, location, or culture.
