Our Programs
The mission of The Jed Foundation is to reduce the incidence of suicide on college campuses. This is not an easy endeavor, since the factors leading to suicide are varied and complex.
The foundation has adopted the position that suicide prevention must be addressed from both the public health and medical points of view. In other words, pharmacology, psychotherapy, and lifestyle/cultural changes all contribute to mental wellness.
Moreover, suicide prevention involves numerous players – from the student and his or her family, to the college community, and even to insurance companies and legislators.
Programs still under development will be described on the website in the future.
