The Jed Foundation (JED) protects the emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation's teens and young adults.
JED is a nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation’s teens and young adults. We’re partnering with high schools, colleges, school districts and youth-serving community-based organizations to strengthen mental health with substance misuse and suicide prevention programs and systems. We’re equipping teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and each other. We’re encouraging community awareness, understanding and action for young adult mental health.

JED has helped over 1,500 schools, districts, campuses and youth-serving community based organizations launch evidence-based programs that give students the tools they need for lifelong mental wellness—that represents more than 10 million students.
