Mental Health

The Jed Foundation
“I want to shed light on mental health awareness and the helpful resources available to youth in need of it.”
The Jed Foundation (JED) is working to protect the emotional health of teens and young adults and to prevent suicide on campuses and in communities across the country. Partnering with high schools, colleges, and youth-serving organizations, JED helps build systems of support that make it easier for young people to ask for help and find it. Through education, advocacy, and powerful storytelling, they’re helping a new generation feel seen, equipped, and hopeful about the road ahead.
