The Jed Foundation (JED) provides trusted tools, real-life guidance, and inspiring stories to help you care for yourself — and others. We work with young people, parents and caregivers, content creators, entertainment leaders, and cultural influencers to change how mental health is seen, talked about, and supported.
Practical tools and expert answers — made for real life. Find resources to help you manage your emotional health, cope with challenges, and find support. Topics include managing stress, understanding anger and loneliness, navigating relationships, and more.
The move beyond high school can be exciting — and overwhelming. Set to Go helps students prepare emotionally for life after high school and equips parents and educators with strategies to guide them. Whether it’s college, work, or a gap year, these tools are designed to build resilience, reduce stress, and support mental health.
Creators Lev Cameron, Ashley Yi, Gavin Magnus, zoeunlimited, and more join JED experts for this engaging and evidence-based series that explores topics like depression, eating disorders, loneliness, and more — plus strategies to manage them.

Reach of JED’s campaigns and resources last year
JED helps to reshape how we think, talk, and act about mental health by reaching youth where they are through the people and brands they trust. We partner to create bold, resonant content that normalizes mental health conversations, encourages help-seeking, and inspires action — whether through video series, music collaborations, or creator-driven campaigns.
I remember scrolling through [JED’s] website almost five years ago while on the phone with a crisis helpline and feeling a sense of empowerment and hope that I, too, could one day work to ensure no teenager has to feel the pain my friends and I experienced as lost and confused middle schoolers. Thank you for making that dream come true.

As the creative studio behind top creators, reaching millions is always a goal — but when a project can make a real impact while doing it, that’s something special. Huge thanks to JED and YouTube for the opportunity to create something meaningful.
