The
Jason Foundation, Inc. (JFI) is a nationally recognized
provider of educational curriculums and training programs
for students, educators/youth workers and parents. JFI’s
programs build an awareness of the national health problem
of youth suicide, educate participants in recognizing the “warning signs or signs of concern”, provide
information on identifying at-risk behavior and elevated risk
groups, and direct participants to local resources to
deal with possible suicidal ideation. JFI’s student
curriculums are presented in the “third-person” perspective – how
to help a friend.
Jason Flatt: 3/20/81 – 7/16/97
In 1997, The Jason Foundation was founded in response
to a family and friends loss of Jason Flatt - age 16 - to the tragedy
of youth
suicide. JFI’s mission is to provide information, tools
and resources to confront the “silent epidemic” and
prevent the tragedy of youth suicide. For
