What Others Are Saying About JED’s Mental Health Workshops, Trainings, and Speakers
“I’ve had three kids approach me as a direct result of today’s assembly — one to talk about what’s going on with him, one to get advice on helping a friend, and one asking me to check on a classmate he’s worried about. All three said it was because of the assembly!” —Leader at a New York City high school about the You Can Help a Friend workshop
