The Jed Foundation (JED) is a nonprofit organization focused on safeguarding emotional health and reducing suicide risk among teens and young adults. Using an evidence-based public health framework, JED equips young people with skills to support themselves and peers, helps schools strengthen mental health and suicide prevention policies and systems, and mobilizes communities to raise awareness and take action. Based in New York City, the organization concentrates its work in high schools, colleges, and broader communities to create safer, more supportive environments for youth. JED positions itself within the nonprofit sector as a leader in youth mental health and suicide prevention through policy development, program implementation, and public engagement. Its partnerships with schools, universities, and community groups illustrate its approach to systemic change. In April 2026, JED announced a plan to merge with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, contingent on regulatory approval, to form a combined organization focused on prevention across the lifespan.
