Nonprofit and public health leader focused on protecting emotional health and preventing suicide for teens and young adults.

Successful track record launching and growing new products and organizations - participated in or led the launch of more than 30 new products and services.

The recent decision to restore billions in federal #MentalHealth and substance use grants was the right thing to do, and it was a life-saving measure.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10-34. Yet more than $1.9 billion in Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grants were initially terminated across 2,800+ programs — including suicide prevention, youth mental health, and community recovery services. Within hours, organizations were preparing for layoffs and closures. 

While the reversal was welcome news, the brief cancellation of essential funding exposed just how fragile our nation’s mental health infrastructure truly is, and how quickly lives can be put at risk. Communities across the country depend on these investments to keep counseling centers open, retain clinicians, and provide vital prevention and recovery services. Restoring this funding prevented immediate disruption for thousands of providers and millions of people, including youth, who rely on them.

At The Jed Foundation (JED), we know that prevention, early intervention, and strong community-based systems work. Now we must ensure stronger guardrails to protect the urgent mental health needs of all Americans.
