• Jed Foundation
  Phil and Donna Satow established The Jed Foundation in 2000 after the suicide of their son, Jed, a college sophomore. As the Satows probed deeper into what had pushed Jed beyond his ability to cope, they discovered that far too few mental health resources are available to students and there is a need for advancing evidence-based programming for suicide prevention in young adults.
