May is mental health awareness month. Mental health and suicide have become widely discussed topics of concern these days and affects millions of people worldwide. Many people from all walks of life face some form of mental health crisis in their life. Our goal is to help provide early intervention for kids, teens, and young adults in need of assistance. The I Promise You I'm Black Podcast is partnering with The JED Foundation to help raise awareness and funds for the youth.

About The Jed Foundation:

JED empowers teens and young adults by building resiliency and life skills, promoting social connectedness, and encouraging help-seeking and help-giving behaviors through our nationally recognized programs, digital channels, and partnerships, as well as through the media. JED strengthens schools by working directly with high schools, colleges, and universities ? representing millions of students ? to put systems, programs, and policies in place to create a culture of caring that protects student mental health, builds life skills, and makes it more likely that struggling students will seek help and be recognized, connected to care, and supported. We mobilize communities by providing education, training, and tools to families, friends, media, and others.
