For Students
Programs
Our programs for students reach thousands of colleges across the county – online, on television and on campus.
It's important that every student understands the importance of looking out for their mental health and supporting friends who may be struggling.
So we design our programs to reach students where they are in a way they understand. From MTV's college network to social networking sites to campus papers to popular tours and events – The Jed Foundation is empowering millions of young people to protect their emotional health, support their friends and become advocates so every American has access to mental health help.
