We’re taking an exciting step forward for su***de prevention and mental health awareness. 👀

The American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (AFSP) and The Jed Foundation - JED are thrilled to announce intent to merge as equals to form AFSP/JED, the nation’s largest nonprofit dedicated to preventing su***de across the lifespan and bringing hope to those affected by su***de loss or risk. 👏

By combining AFSP’s national reach and research leadership with JED’s expertise in youth mental health, we’ll be able to save more lives, support more communities, and bring hope to millions across the country.

We asked MusiCares Ambassadors and Staff to be the first to take our new Su***de Prevention & Awareness Training, launched in partnership with The Jed Foundation for the music industry. If you’re a music professional, they think you should take it too.

The constant hustle, irregular schedules, and time spent away from family and friends only scratch the surface of the realities of life working in music. That’s why this free, online training teaches you how to spot warning signs and equips you with clear, actionable steps to strengthen a culture of care across the music community. Because no one should have to face mental health challenges alone. 🤍
