The merged organization aims to establish a coordinated national prevention strategy spanning youth through adulthood. The two organizations have historically occupied complementary but distinct lanes: JED has focused primarily on youth and young adult mental health, particularly on college campuses, while AFSP has operated across a broader demographic range with a strong emphasis on research funding and survivor support.
