Help Ensure Young People Don’t Navigate This Alone
JED helps adults and communities protect young people’s mental health through prevention and early support. Every donation is an investment in the emotional well-being of youth.
Partnering with JED has helped our unit and institution work towards mental health support at a comprehensive level. We often recognize that mental health and suicide prevention is real and relevant but addressing it at an institutional level is a different story. JED provides a structured and evidence-based approach that integrates mental health into all campus life, equipping staff and faculty to create an environment where students can thrive.
The JED Foundation has partnered with my high school for the last three years, giving workshops for parents and seniors information that is practical and crucial in helping them to gain a self-mastery of their mental health and well-being. As the school’s Director of Health & Wellness, I have shared their Set To Go website, Right Fit worksheet, and College Transition guide widely to our community, which found it so beneficial when the college journey began, and therefore felt more prepared as a family to tackle these relevant issues.
