Ulifeline™
Ulifeline™ is an anonymous, Internet-based resource that provides students
with a non-threatening and supportive link to their college mental health or
counseling center. It was created to give students more knowledge about mental
health and the signs and symptoms of emotional problems.
This website enables students to address such issues
as depression, stress, and the pressures of college life. The site includes a
library of mental health information and an interactive screening tool to help
students uncover whether they or a friend are at risk.
Importantly, the site was created by students for students and is maintained
by the highly supervised involvement of supervised by the most respected professionals
in the mental health field.
The Jed Foundation has retained Interactive Factory (IFactory) to design, develop,
and deploy a revised Ulifeline™ portal providing both standard content
and school-specific content. The goal is to enhance the mental healthcare services
accessed through Ulifeline™ by young adults attending colleges throughout
North America and to enable students and counselors to cope with the stresses
and challenges of young adulthood in a proactive, constructive manner.
