The Jed Foundation provides community-based organizations with consulting, evidence-based best practices, and data-driven guidance to protect youth mental health and prevent suicide.
Through JED’s support for community-based organizations, we partner with you to assess the unique needs and priorities of your organization and develop a customized strategic plan to build on existing strengths and implement tools, strategies, and techniques that lead to measurable improvements in youth mental health.

Our Approach
Each community-based organization is supported by one of our trained advisors, professionals in mental health who understand the challenges youth-serving community-based organizations face. Their mission is to support and build your team’s capacity to achieve your goals. Your success is their success.
No two organizations are the same, which is why we conduct an evaluation of your organization’s strengths and youth mental health needs. We then help you create a strategic plan that will efficiently and effectively enhance what is already working and innovate to address unmet needs and create a safety net specific to your youth.
JED is at the forefront of youth mental health and suicide prevention. We help you make informed decisions and enhance policies, programs, and resources with insight into clinically-reviewed and peer-informed best practices.
