JED Campus
Michigan became a JED Campus in 2023. The work of JED work shifts the culture and conversation around mental health by focusing on two components to change and save lives:
1. Strengthening the emotional health of teens and young adults so they can thrive today…and tomorrow.
2. Preventing substance misuse, self-harm, and suicide as a result of emotional distress.
Mattering
Mattering at Michigan enhances the central human concept of mattering: the belief that an individual brings value to their community and is valued by their community in return.
