My mom took her own life when I was young. That tragic event made me dedicate my life to trying to find good solutions to issues that torment people. When I first met with the JED team, I was deeply moved by their work. JED is committed to improving the mental health of youth in America and reducing the risks of self-harm and suicide through common-sense approaches that are research-and evidence-based. They’re the most effective organization supporting the mental health of young people in our country. We have included JED in our will to ensure this fine organization’s work continues.
