Feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, or running on empty at your desk?

Taking a break shouldn't feel like another task on your to-do list. That’s why JED created Reset Mode — a new interactive experience designed to help you pause, regroup, and recharge in just a few minutes.

You can personalize your digital space and build a daily streak to learn what helps you reset best. Build a toolkit of go-to moves for the next time pressure hits.

JED is proud to share our new report on AI use and mental health among teens. The data shows that many teens turn to AI during moments of real emotional need — and that how they use it is deeply connected to their mental health and well-being. The report is authored by JED’s vice president of research and evaluation, Dr. Kayla Anderson.

We’re grateful to the Nielsen Foundation for funding the report and the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital for their input, and of course to the 5,560 middle and high school students in 21 schools across the country who participated.

Read the full report and key recommendations for AI and tech companies, policymakers, and youth-serving professionals:

JED’s new, original research explores how middle and high school students use AI and how that use relates to their mental health, su***de risk, and well-being.
