- 14. The Jed Foundation Framework
Hinweis der Redaktion
- Just a general introduction that this is a short presentation…
- This is a cartoon that shows where our students often are in terms of MANY aspects of their life.
- This is what we are going to touch.
- There were a lot of reasons why this work started several years ago. - To help students dealing with or who are at risk of developing mental illness - Promotion, prevention, intervention, post-vention - Having a coordinated approach and resources available on campus - Partnering with the broader community
- This is from our 2007 NCHA survey of SFU students. Big focus in the media on stress, academia and mental illness. On top of this a recent study in Australia showed that close to 84% of University students were mentally distressed compared to 29% in the general population. Also serious mental illness among the sample is more than 5x more likely than in the general population.
- A compassionate, aware, supportive, and respectful campus community as it relates to issues of mental health, mental wellness and vulnerable members of our community. A stigma free community. Increased awareness and alignment of existing programs and services available across campus to support those individuals dealing with mental illness Acquire resources and champions available to take this initiative forward Recommendations made for consideration within Student Services, and in some cases, taken forward to the senior executive of SFU. An improved level of awareness across the entire SFU community as to what contributes to mental health and wellness, how to address signs of mental illness, the impact of mental illness and what contributes to supportive campus communities Increased knowledge, skills and capacity of individuals and communities to engage in health enhancing behaviours which support mental wellness The Purpose of the Strategy is not just to address mental illness. It’s much more than that. It is alignment with the university mission and the Academic plans.
- We celebrate discovery and diversity Teaching that is personal and looks at the long term. We take risks and are bold. We want to be exist as ROBUTS and ETHICAL communities
- While this aligns very well with the first theme of “ High Quality Student Experience ”, it does span other themes as well. Especially those related to excellence, community, strength and sustainability. An example of the Academic Plan goals: 1.3 Review and removing unnecessary barriers to programme completion The other themes are: 2. Teaching and Learning in a Research university 3. Research Intensity 4. The University’s Role in the Community 5. Financial Sustainability and Institutional Strength

- We are utilizing a few models to frame what needs to be done. This is the population health model which was previously adapted by our Health Promotion team to SFU in the next slide.
- An example of the scope that needs to be addressed. Not just intervention for individuals with mental illness but promotion/prevention/intervention/Postvention that span individuals, systems our communities and policies. As an example, if we look at Mental Health only as it relates to the counselling team or physicians, we’d be working only at the Individual level and developing personal skills. If we want to move beyond this, we need to look at the Inerpersonal, Organizational, and Campus Community levels to see how our organization and/or campus community either promotes and/or prevents the mental wellness of our students. Education about health and the development of personal skills is useless if our students can’t incorporate these skills into our campus environment, or if our policies and organizational structure either prevents students from incorporating this knowledge/ or implementing these skills! What does our campus environment say to students with all the individual study space available, but not a whole lot of social space to engage and meet people? Does it encourage socialization outside the classroom or prevent it? We need to engage partners outside of health and counselling services, look at our campus policies, and work together to create supportive campus communities. By doing so, we will automatically be working to impact multiple determinants of health!
- The JED foundation also helps frame specifics related to Mental Wellness and harm prevention.
