The places young people go every day are where suicide prevention needs to be strongest — schools, campuses, afterschool programs, and community organizations. JED has been showing up for our nation’s young people for the last 25 years, in those spaces and beyond.
If you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone who cares about young people, this matters. That’s especially true this year, when many schools lost mental health staff and resources. And it’s the students who are carrying the weight of that.
If you or someone you know needs to talk to someone right now, text, call, or chat 988 for a free confidential conversation with a trained counselor 24/7.
You can also contact the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741-741.
If this is a medical emergency or if there is immediate danger of harm, call 911 and explain that you need support for a mental health crisis.
