Combining JED’s focus on youth mental health and well-being with ASFP’s investment in research, education, advocacy and public policy will create an even more impactful organization working to end suicide and strengthen mental health at every age. Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. The combined organization will have the vision and scale to help create a world where everyone is connected, supported and thriving. Read the full press release.
