Jason Foundation, Inc.

The Jason Foundation, Inc. works aggressively to provide educational programs for students, educators, youth workers, parents, and communities providing information, tools and resources to help identify and assist at-risk youth. The JFI National Network consists of offices across the nation providing our programs and resources to millions of individuals throughout the nation at no charge.

The Jason Foundation (JFI) utilizes a network of highly trained individuals to create a grass-roots approach for reaching out to communities. By analyzing the unique needs of specific neighborhoods, communities, cities and states, the JFI team is able to tailor our programs for those geographic areas and respond accordingly.

Through strategic partnerships, JFI has expanded our outreach through physical offices located in 39 states in our nation. Our increased use of technology has further enhanced our community outreach into all fifty states and several foreign countries. Additionally, JFI enjoys a top-notch corporate staff, as well as an outstanding medical advisory board to insure that our programs are clinically sound and educationally effective.

The Jason Foundation has reached many milestones toward our mission of the prevention of youth suicide. These are just a few:
1, In 2020, JFI provided 175,000 educator trainings.
2. JFI was instrumental in the passage of "The Jason Flatt Act" (named after our founders son), which requires teachers to be trained as a regular part of their continuing education. This legislation has now been passed in twenty states.
3. Our student curriculum - "A Promise for Tomorrow" - is utilized in classrooms - grades 7 - 12 - across the nation. In the last three years, over 3,000 new schools began using the program impacting more than 1.5 million new students who had not yet received the training.

JFI continues to evaluate and update our programs and have very exciting new training modules to be released in the next few months.
