Hey Happy Jack Entertainment Fam,

September is Suicide Awareness Month and Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s tough but vital to discuss: Suicide. It’s the 3rd leading cause of death for people ages 15-24, and that’s something we cannot ignore. At Happy Jack Entertainment, we believe in confronting these realities head-on—because staying silent is no longer an option.

We’ve created a quick powerful video to shed light on this issue and offer support for anyone who may be struggling.

Spotlight: The Jed Foundation

We want to spotlight our incredible partners at the Jed Foundation, working tirelessly to support mental health and save lives! 

About The Jed Foundation: The Jed Foundation (JED) is a nonprofit organization focused on protecting emotional health and preventing suicide among teens and young adults. Founded in 2000, JED works to promote mental well-being and equip young people with the skills and support needed to thrive.

Some of their initiatives include JED Campus, a program helping colleges improve mental health support, and the Seize the Awkward campaign, which encourages open conversations about mental health.

Tip of the Day: Checking In Could Save a Life

Sometimes, reaching out to someone—even with a simple “How are you doing?”—can make all the difference. You never know who might need that lifeline.
