The JED Foundation and the Steve Fund, two leading mental health organizations, announced in December 2015 a joint plan to provide colleges and universities with recommended practices for improving support for the mental health and emotional well-being of America’s college students of color.

The announcement is accompanied by the release of new data showing the urgency of improving mental health support for this population.
