The Equity in Mental Health Framework is a joint project of the Steve Fund and The Jed Foundation (JED) to help colleges and universities support and enhance the mental health of students of color. The framework provides academic institutions with a set of ten actionable recommendations and key implementation strategies to help strengthen their activities and programs to address the mental health disparities facing students of color. It is based on expert input from the College Mental Health Program at McLean Hospital, a national Nielsen online poll of 1,000 college students, a scientific literature review, a national convening of higher education leaders, and an electronic survey of higher education administrators.
