On May 19, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education and dedicated professionals from across the Bluegrass State came together for the Kentucky Student Success Collaborative Mental Health Convening. JED was honored to co-create the gathering as part of our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jedfoundation.org\/kentucky-higher-education-system-partners-with-the-jed-foundation-to-prioritize-mental-health-and-suicide-prevention-for-students-staff-and-faculty\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ongoing partnership<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to bolster support for student mental health in Kentucky. The convening marked the launch of Kentucky\u2019s statewide plan into action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Learning From Another State<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing that state systems have a wealth of knowledge to share with one another, JED introduced attendees to higher education leaders in Utah, who recently completed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jedfoundation.org\/utah-jed-campus-cohort-convening-september-2024\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JED Campus as a statewide cohort<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Katie Mazzie, assistant commissioner for strategic and government affairs at the Utah System of Higher Education, served as the keynote speaker for the convening. She offered the system\u2019s experiences as a way to guide Kentucky\u2019s mental health strategy forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mazzie began by sharing a troubling but familiar pattern from her research. In the late 2010s and early 2020s, students were experiencing high levels of anxiety, loneliness, isolation from campus life, financial stress, suicidal ideation, and self-harm attempts. Kentucky shared those concerns about their students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mazzie highlighted four statewide initiatives Utah launched to address the stressors students were facing:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Trula:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A peer-support program that offers in-person and virtual coaching to help students develop academic and life skills during their college transition. Of the more than 6,300 students served, 86% reported feeling better equipped to balance college demands and face challenges with confidence after completing the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>SafeUT:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A 24\/7 crisis chat and tip line launched in 2015 that provides around-the-clock access to licensed counselors and crisis workers. In 2023 alone, SafeUT facilitated 536 lifesaving interventions and provided over 26,000 chats with more than 900,000 messages in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Campus counseling:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nine out of Utah\u2019s 16 public institutions of higher education now provide on-campus counseling services, making support more accessible where students live and learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>After-hours programs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Institutions like the University of Utah extended support beyond traditional hours, offering crisis interventions, group therapy sessions, and drop-in hours in residence halls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond sharing these successful programs, Mazzie offered lessons learned from Utah\u2019s work. The first lesson proved especially relevant for Kentucky\u2019s planning process: the importance of making a compelling argument for why mental health is within higher education\u2019s purview. The responsibilities for higher education are clearly defined by state statute, but Mazzie relies on data that shows mental health challenges are one of the main issues that prevent students from successfully completing their degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Aaron Thompson, president of Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, echoed that sentiment. \u201cMental health is not just an individual concern,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is a collective responsibility that significantly influences academic performance, retention rates, and overall campus well-being. The conversation has to be louder. We must continue to prioritize mental health initiatives and foster a culture of support and understanding across all levels of our institutions, so every individual can have the opportunity to thrive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Moving Into Action in Kentucky<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspired by Utah\u2019s lessons, Kentucky attendees then shifted from learning to planning. They had opportunities to network, hear from a student panel, and learn about Kentucky Community and Technical College System\u2019s strategic visions for student mental health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants from across the state informed the creation of a new guiding team, which will steer the statewide implementation of their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cpe.ky.gov\/data\/reports\/2025-mentalhealthreport.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mental health strategy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The team includes representatives from public and private institutions, as well as from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team\u2019s collaborative leadership will ensure that the strategy reflects diverse institutional perspectives and meets the needs of students across Kentucky. JED will also provide guidance and support during implementation, which will focus on the four priority areas: centering student voices, training faculty and staff, enhancing resources to respond to crises, and improving campus communication about mental health supports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTogether we focused on equipping campuses, supporting students, and identifying innovative ways to move us forward,\u201d said Dr. Erica Riba, JED\u2019s Senior Director of Alumni Programs and Engagement, who has served as an adviser on the multiyear project. \u201cWith this momentum, we\u2019re now shifting to implementation, turning our shared goals into coordinated action across Kentucky\u2019s colleges and universities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jedfoundation.canto.com\/pdfviewer\/viewer\/viewer.html?share=share%2Calbum%2CIS6K0&amp;column=document&amp;id=icu63itkkp2uv10v7t16a4pf5i&amp;suffix=pdf&amp;print=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JED supports state-level systems<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:JedCampusInfo@jedfoundation.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JedCampusInfo@jedfoundation.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jed Foundation (JED) has a unique position working with state systems across the country that creates powerful opportunities to connect leaders and share proven <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":38858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Building Stronger Communities: Kentucky\u2019s Mental Health Convening Sparks Statewide Action | The Jed Foundation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On May 19, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education and dedicated professionals from across the Bluegrass State came together for the Kentucky Student Success Collaborative Mental Health Convening.
