East Georgia State College has partnered with the Jed Foundation (JED) in a multi-year strategic collaboration that not only enhances the student mental
health work already being done on campus but also creates positive, lasting change.
This strategic collaboration with 杰德基金会 is made possible through the University System of Georgia’s Mental 健康 Initiative
which focuses on mental health awareness, resources and response to students.
The aim of 杰德校区 is to ensure that schools have comprehensive systems in place to prioritize student mental health and create positive systemic change in the campus 社区.
| 杰德校区 is a signature program of 杰德基金会 (JED) designed to guide schools through a collaborative process of comprehensive systems, program, and policy development with customized support to build upon existing student mental health, substance use and suicide prevention efforts. |
As a designated 杰德校区, EGSC students will have access to a wealth of resources promoting emotional well-being, preventing suicide, and combating serious substance 滥用问题. In July 2021, EGSC will embark on a four-year strategic planning exercise facilitated by JED representatives designed to assess efforts currently underway at the college, identify existing strengths and areas for improvement. 初步工作 to date includes the formation of a steering committee, the administration of the student 健康y Minds Survey and the completion of the EGSC campus assessment – all designed to guide EGSC’s strategic planning efforts concerning campus mental health awareness and response. The EGSC team engaged in the strategic planning exercise will be a multidisciplinary group comprised of the EGSC Mental 健康 Initiative Committee, student focus groups, and representatives from 体育运动 and Strategic Planning units.
JED’s comprehensive approach to strategic planning includes:
-
- Developing Life Skills
- Identifying Students at Risk
- Promoting Social Connectedness
- Increasing 帮助 Seeking Behavior
- Promote Mental 健康 and Substance Abuse services
- Following Crisis Management 程序
- Restrict Access to Potentially Lethal Means
