About Us

History 

The Jed Foundation was founded in 2000 by Donna and Phil Satow after they lost their son Jed to suicide.

While trying to learn more about suicide and make sense of their unthinkable loss, the Satows discovered an urgent and unmet need for programming and resources that helped colleges, students and parents recognize and address emotional health issues and prevent suicide.

Through the guidance of respected experts in the fields of mental health and higher education, The Jed Foundation has become the leading nonprofit organization addressing issues related to mental health and suicide in the college population.
