Partnering With The Jed Foundation for the Risk Management Premium Credit
In this year’s Risk Management Premium Credit (RMPC) program, your institution may sign an agreement to implement a JED Campus program to earn the premium credit.
What Is JED?
The Jed Foundation (JED) is a nonprofit organization that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation’s teens and young adults. JED partners with high schools, colleges, and universities to help strengthen their capacity to support mental health, reduce substance misuse, and implement effective suicide-prevention programs and systems. JED has worked with nearly 530 colleges and universities and 150 high schools nationwide, reaching more than 7 million students.
JED offers three programs that improve institutions’ ability to support students’ mental health. Participating would benefit your institution’s efforts to support students’ mental health and can provide your institution with useful risk management tools.
JED Program Options
Higher Education
Two program options are available for higher education institutions:
JED Campus is a four-year strategic partnership that guides colleges and universities through a collaborative process to develop comprehensive systems, program, and policies. JED offers customized support to build upon existing efforts to address student mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention.
JED Campus Fundamentals is an 18-month evidence-based program for colleges and universities to comprehensively support student mental health, reduce substance misuse, and prevent suicide. Adapted from the flagship JED Campus program, Fundamentals offers components of that program on a shorter timeline with the option to add elements as needed or extend to the four-year program.
High Schools
JED High School (grades nine through 12) is a three-year program to assess and strengthen your policies, programs, and systems to support student mental health, reduce substance misuse, and prevent suicide.
This strategic partnership enables you to enhance systems and programs in seven domains key to student well-being, such as increasing help-seeking behaviors among students, improving recognition of and response to students at risk, and creating a safe school environment.
There is a cost involved for JED programs. Visit the pages linked above for information, including pricing, on each program. You can also complete an inquiry form for higher education or high school.
How to Participate
To apply JED’s programs to your premium credit, we will ask your institution to upload a signed agreement with JED. That agreement commits your institution to implementing one of JED’s three programs. Because these are multi-year commitments, your institution doesn’t need to complete the chosen program to earn the premium credit.
To select one of the JED programs, go to your Intake Form, select Student Mental Health, and then select the option that refers to JED’s programs, which you can find on your RMPC Dashboard. Your institution must contact JED and work with it directly on implementation.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your institution would like to implement one of these programs for the RMPC program, go to your Intake Form, which you can find on your RMPC Dashboard. Select Student Mental Health, and then select the option that refers to JED’s programs. Your confirmation message will include contact information for the JED team that will partner with you to bring the program to your campus.
Your institution must contact and work with JED directly. To protect members’ privacy, United Educators (UE) and JED don’t share member or client information.
After your institution signs your agreement with JED to launch JED’s programming, return to your RMPC dashboard and go to the Summary Form. It will ask you to upload a copy of the agreement and then click Submit. Your agreement must be dated between the start of your policy year and the RMPC program deadline.
After we see and approve your agreement, we will award the premium credit and send a confirmation message.
To qualify for the premium credit, your institution’s agreement with JED must be dated between the start of your policy year and your final RMPC program deadline.
Agreements signed in previous years don’t qualify for this year’s RMPC program.
Like all other RMPC options, implementation of a JED program is eligible for a premium credit that is applied to the member’s next renewal. RMPC program participation doesn’t offer a pre-purchase discount on any JED program.
UE awards the premium credit when the member institution uploads its signed agreement.
While we expect members to fully implement their JED programs, credit isn’t dependent on finishing a JED program, and no additional credit will be awarded when a JED program concludes.
The RMPC program awards credit for new agreements. If your institution starts a new program with a second campus, that qualifies. However, if your institution signed an agreement two years ago for your main campus and that’s your only agreement with JED, that agreement wouldn’t qualify for a premium credit.
Credit is awarded once — when your institution signs its agreement with JED. Continuing to implement a JED program wouldn’t qualify your institution for credit in future years.
UE doesn’t share your data with JED, and JED won’t know your membership with UE at any time — unless your institution discloses that information to JED. Likewise, JED doesn’t share data about its clients with UE.
To earn the RMPC credit, your institution must notify us it has signed an agreement with JED to implement one of the three qualifying programs. Without that notification, UE won’t know your institution is launching a JED program.
Future availability is subject to change.
