Hello Ithaca College Community! I am writing today to share some information about two JED Campus subcommittees that we are seeking additional members for! I hope that you will consider getting involved!
JED Campus Committee Mission: The JED Campus Committee is a campus-wide team working to improve mental wellness and suicide prevention. This team is working with the national JED Foundation to implement best practices which allow our campus to assess and enhance the work already being done, as well as foster positive, systemic change both on campus and in the greater community.

Healthy Minds Data Collection subcommittee

Resilience and Life Skills subcommittee
- This new subcommittee will be researching ways to integrate mental wellness education, skill building, and supports into the campus community. Focusing on a multi-tiered approach to build resiliency, life skills and coping skills.
Time Commitment: The JED Committee will meet collectively 2-4 times throughout the academic year. Subcommittees will meet weekly or biweekly throughout the academic year to implement recommendations. Work on tasks may be needed between meetings, and we will ask for support to staff or communicate about JED Campus Committee events/outreach
