Suicide is not only a leading cause of death for our nation’s youth… Suicide is a leading cause of preventable death for our nation’s youth.
Four out of five young people display “warning signs” before a suicide attempt. Prevention begins with education – if we can “educate” students, educators / youth workers and parents on how to recognize and properly respond to those “warning signs” – we can save lives!
You can help by first leaning more about the national public health issue of youth suicide and then sharing this information with your community’s schools, churches and other community organizations. Sadly, many schools, churches, and other community organizations lack the financial resources to provide these programs. JFI is proud that in our seventeen-year history, we have never charged any school, church, individual or community for any of our programs. As we continue to grow geographically, this of course becomes more difficult.
Your financial support will enable The Jason Foundation to continue to provide our programs and resources to schools, churches and communities with a “no-charge” policy and will assure that funding, or lack thereof, is never the lone deciding factor on who has access to JFI’s life changing / lifesaving resources.
