黄色直播鈥檚 Division of Student Affairs has partnered with the Jed Foundation Health Matters Campus Program, which is designed to help colleges and universities assess and enhance mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention programming.
During the four-year partnership, the Jed Foundation will work closely with administration across the entire 黄色直播 eight-campus system to evaluate and identify opportunities to help students become emotionally healthy before they reach the point of crisis.
鈥淎s we review services and programs to meet the unique needs of each campus, our participation in this program demonstrates 黄色直播鈥檚 commitment to promoting emotional well-being and enhancing substance abuse and suicide prevention programming for all students,鈥 says Shay Little, Ph.D., 黄色直播鈥檚 interim vice president for student affairs.
The first phase of the project was recently completed when representatives from the eight 黄色直播 campuses responded to a 128-question self-assessment about the mental health promotion, substance abuse and suicide prevention programming that is currently taking place on all campuses.
The strategic planning phase will begin in March when Nance Roy, Ed.D., clinical director of the Jed Foundation, will share the assessment results and consult with the professionals on every 黄色直播 campus with responsibilities related to mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention to plan and implement program improvements.
