Fort Lewis College has joined JED Campus

The JED Campus program is a nationwide initiative of The Jed Foundation (JED) designed to help schools evaluate and strengthen their mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention programs and systems to ensure that schools have the strongest possible mental health safety nets. There are currently over 400 campuses engaged in the JED Campus program. 

This is a four year initiative that not only assesses and enhances work already underway but also helps create positive, lasting, systemic change in the campus community. 

JED provides assessment tools, expert guidance, and customized technical assistance to support the implementation of recommended practices. Find more information about JED Campus.
