30 Colleges With Excellent Mental Health Services

The Jed Foundation, a non-profit focusing on suicide prevention among college students, has released a new "seal of approval" for schools with strong mental health services, USA Today reports.

Victor Schwartz, the Jed Foundation's medical director, said that addressing mental health concerns could help students academically, as well as prevent self-harm.

"When you look at the admissions office, most everyone has the SAT points and the IQ points for the college work they're faced with. So more often than not, why someone is struggling in school, what you find is social problems, family problems, emotional problems, not handling all these things effectively," he said.

According to USA Today, the JedCampus seal is based on a number of campus offerings, including "free access to the gym, free counseling and physical health services, crisis programs, restricted access to hazardous or illegal materials, [and] early identification of students with problems."
