About the Webinar
This collaborative webinar—presented by the American Council on Education (ACE), the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors (AUCCCD), and The Jed Foundation—brought together three leading voices in mental health advocacy and trauma-informed care to explore the critical intersection of policy, practice, and student well-being.

-
Federal, system, and institutional policy landscapes and their impact on student mental health services
-
Practical strategies for integrating trauma-informed principles into policy advocacy and campus practice
-
Current legislative opportunities, including how to advocate effectively with your congressional representatives
