Where Suicide Preventions Starts: A Student’s Perspective
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 is in crisis or needs support right now, text, call, or chat 988 Lifeline, or text HOME (or HOLA) to 741-741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.
