Equipping Individuals
Research shows that building resiliency and life skills, promoting social connectedness, and encouraging help-seeking and help-giving behaviors in teens and young adults supports their overall well-being, helps them thrive, and protects their emotional health, making it less likely they will fall into unhealthy behaviors. JED uses digital campaigns, the media, and partnerships to engage teens and young adults where they are and in a way they’ll understand.
Mobilizing Communities
Our mental health is impacted by the world around us. There are a range of factors that can influence the perspective, well-being, and behaviors of our teens and young adults including families, friends, media, and high-profile voices. JED partners with these communities to create a culture of caring, grounded in deeper understanding and reduced shame and secrecy, and to collaborate on amplifying their positive impact while minimizing potential harm.
Soul’s Cry Press LLC in partnership with Lia Jaye and her team are committed to helping today’s youth stop suicide. Every month a percent of profits from each book sale will go to The Jed Foundation, because even ONE life lost to suicide is way too many! Please share our books to help save precious lives!
