Counseling Services and JED Campus
St. Scholastica is committed to the emotional well-being of students and has begun a multi-year strategic collaboration with The Jed Foundation. These efforts not only enhance the mental health work already being done on campus but also creates positive, lasting change.
JED Campus
By becoming a JED Campus member St. Scholastica demonstrates a commitment to the emotional well-being of its students. JED Campus is a nationwide initiative of The Jed Foundation designed to empower schools with a framework and customized support to enhance student mental health services, suicide prevention and substance abuse prevention.
JED’s programs are grounded in an evidence-based model used to assess efforts currently being made on campus, identifying existing strengths and improvements within.

In collaboration with JED Campus, St. Scholastica has identified strategic goals and action steps related to implementing and enhancing mental health, substance use and suicide prevention strategies on our campus. Strategic objectives were identified and six key working groups were created:
- Clinical and Substance Use
- Communication and Collaboration of Efforts
- Equity in Mental Health
