Because of this, JED can expand programmatic partnerships, ultimately supporting nearly 1,500 schools and community-based organizations that serve 10 million youth with evidence-based mental health and su***de prevention programs; educate more than 30 million stakeholders through campaigns, training, and digital resources; and guide a powerful federal and state advocacy presence.
