The JED Foundation y Tec de Monterrey.

Tec de Monterrey is the first school in Latin America to join The JED Foundation program.

The Jed Foundation

The JED Foundation (JED) is a nonprofit organization that protects the emotional health and prevents suicide among adolescents and young adults in the United States.

JED partners with high schools and colleges to strengthen their mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention programs and systems. They equip teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and others. They foster community awareness, understanding and action for young adult mental health.

Alliance with Tec de Monterrey

Tecnológico de Monterrey added another resource for the mental health care of its students by signing an alliance with The Jed Foundation.

John MacPhee, executive director of The Jed Foundation, said that Tec is the first school in Latin America to incorporate the JED Campus program.

"In schools and universities are places where a lot can be done to really boost the mental health of students," he adds.

Pressure, stress and the pursuit of academic success can be experiences that need an environment of understanding and a culture of caring, MacPhee said.

What is the purpose of the program?

The purpose of including The Jed Foundation's mental health program is to have a system with at least 20 years of experience in suicide prevention.
