All of us have a vested interest in protecting the emotional health of America's 20 million college students.
The impact of mental health problems and suicide reaches across cultures, demographics and geography.
The Jed Foundation has made great strides in decreasing prejudice around mental illness, encouraging help-seeking among young people and strengthening the mental health safety net on our college campuses – but there is still so much to be done. Your support is critical as we work to ensure everyone has a chance to graduate and that no more young lives are derailed by treatable mental health problems or preventable tragedies.
