These Numbers Fill Me with Hope

In the past five years, JED has significantly increased our impact by every measurable metric. We’ve grown the number of schools we partner with through our JED High School and JED Campus programs from 107 to 400 and more than doubled the number of students served to 4.8 million.

Data from these schools show that they are taking numerous actions to strengthen their approach to supporting student mental health and reducing risks for suicide. The reach of our impactful campaign programs such as Love is Louder and Seize the Awkward have grown from 3.4 million in 2015 to 63.8 million in 2021, and our research shows that teens and young adults who are familiar with our Seize the Awkward campaign are more likely to have initiated conversations with their friends about mental health.
