Suicide Prevention

HCC is a JED Campus!

JED is a nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation’s teens and young adults giving them the skills and support they need to thrive today and tomorrow through partnership with high schools and colleges to strengthen their mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention programs and systems. Through this partnership, JED equips teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and each other, encouraging community awareness, understanding, and action for young adult mental health.

JED provides the JED Campus Fundamentals program (“JED Program”), with a systematic approach that will help Houston City College assess and strengthen their policies, programs, and systems to support the emotional well-being and suicide prevention for the students.

Online Resource for College Mental Health

Jed Foundation has a comprehensive, confidential, online resource center for college students, faculty, and staff regarding mental and emotional health.
