JED partners with high schools and colleges to strengthen their mental health, substance abuse, and suicide prevention programs and systems. We are equipping teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and each other. We also encourage community awareness, understanding and action for young adult mental health.
Summary of relevant work:
JED has three main areas of focus:
- We help schools evaluate and strengthen their mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention programs and systems to safeguard individual and community health.
- We develop expert resources and create powerful partnerships to ensure more teens and young adults get access to the resources and support they need to navigate life’s challenges.
- We educate and equip students, families and communities to know when and how to support others who are in distress or struggling with a mental health issue
