Partnering with the Rare Impact Fund has allowed Didi Hirsch to expand our suicide prevention outreach and education efforts in Southern California and beyond. Thanks to their support, we’ve been able to build and launch the Didi Hirsch Academy, an accessible online training platform with suicide prevention content for students, parents, teachers, and counselors. We’ve also been able to grow our in-the-field Suicide Prevention Center training & outreach in the community to reach more young people in person.

By supporting JED’s comprehensive approach to systems change, JED’s partnership with the Rare Impact Fund has shone a light on the real impact to be had when making systemic changes and deploying JED’s comprehensive approach. This has shifted the youth mental space as more funders are exploring ways in which they can have a significant impact on the field.
