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

“This was an incredibly valuable presentation. The presenter was calm and engaging, making sure to balance out some of the heavier conversations. The space provided for attendees to share was wonderful and informative. I wish more attendees had gone; this is vital information for anyone working with students.” Participant from the National Scholarship Providers Association about the You Can Help a Student workshop

“Great presentation of exceptional, actionable content in a very personable manner.” Participant from the National Scholarship Providers Association about the You Can Help a Student workshop
