Mental Health Flock (Originating from the JED Campus Initiative)
In January 2020, Ithaca College enrolled into the JED Campus initiative, a 4-year evidence-based program, to cultivate a campus community that fosters emotional wellness and works towards suicide prevention.
The JED Framework
Since Spring 2021 the JED Campus Committee, now called the Mental Health Flock at Ithaca College has been following the JED Campus strategic timeline and the JED Foundation’s Comprehensive Suicide Prevention framework. This comprehensive approach contains 6 key components, which include:
- developing life skills, promoting social connectedness,
- identifying students at risk, increasing help seeking behavior,
- providing mental health & substance abuse services,
- following crisis management procedures,
- restricting access to potentially lethal means and
- building a strategic plan that addresses each of these components.
