Please join the JED Campus Task Force to be trained in the You Can Help a Friend JED Mental Health training. This training will help equip students with information about mental health, including suicide, and provide skills and tools to intervene to help support peers. The training is open to all Ithaca College students, with a maximum capacity of 30 participants. Participants will gain the following knowledge:

-Understand current college student mental health trends;

-Understand your role in supporting students;

-Identify signs of distress in students and learn how to engage in conversation with them; and

-Discuss on and off-campus resources available to students.

 

You Can Help a Friend is facilitated by Ithaca College JED Campus trainers who have received training from the JED Foundation and the JED Campus Committee. The JED Campus Committee aims to train as many staff, students, and faculty as possible, so we can all work together to improve mental wellness on campus.
