The JED Foundation, JED Mental Health Guide for Faculty
The JED Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to supporting teen and young adult mental health, has created a concise resource for faculty to assist them in supporting student mental health. Because access to the guide requires a sign-up, we have opted to place it within this D2L shell; however, if you would like to obtain your own copy, please go to The JED Foundation: Faculty Guide to Supporting Student Mental Health. For a much more detailed look at the conversations faculty are having about student mental health, take a look at The Role of Faculty in Student Mental Health in this module’s Deeper Dive.
