JED Alumni
The Work Continues. Together.

As the educational landscape continues to evolve, school communities face new challenges and rising student mental health needs. JED Alumni offers a continuum of premiums services designed to build on the work you have already done. Re-engaging with JED programming helps your school strengthen its student mental health safety net with current recommended practices, reach new goals, and protect student emotional well-being.

What Our Partners Say

JED gave us the confidence to promote staff messaging about mental health access and to reframe the topic as a shared responsibility embedded throughout school culture, practices, and relationships. As a result, our work with JED has helped reinforce the idea that mental health support is not solely the responsibility of counselors and social workers.

— Burlington High School, School Counselor

From the start, the JED Campus program has always been highly encouraging for us. The initial campus visit gave us a starting point to think about areas of improvement and discuss solutions. Throughout the process we have periodic calls with our campus rep to evaluate our progress, gain insights on how we can be more intentional in our work, and get valuable benchmarking to see how our efforts hold up compared to our peers.

— University of Minnesota, Boynton Mental Health Clinic, Acting Director
