Wellness Site Resource: JED Campus
The Wellness website includes a JED Campus tab which provides links to the project’s strategic plan, an executive summary of the program and a video of the recent town hall meeting.
The JED Campus project is an initiative designed to guide schools through a collaborative process of comprehensive systems and program and policy development with customized support to build upon existing student mental health, substance abuse and prevention efforts. The project at Truman was funded through the Homecoming philanthropy and a generous donor. It is a four-year commitment that began last year with an on-campus visit by JED professionals who met with various constituents of the University community. In addition, the Healthy Minds Survey was taken by more than 2,000 Truman students and a self-study was completed that included a review of various Truman policies and processes. Using all the data collected, a strategic plan was then developed with the goal to assist Truman to improve the campus mental health environment.
