In 1997, 16-year-old Jason Flatt unfortunately took his own life.  What came out of that tragedy was a nationwide effort to raise awareness and provide programs that could end the “Silent Epidemic” of youth suicide.

About The Jason Foundation

The Jason Foundation, Inc. (JFI) was founded by Jason’s father, Clark Flatt, and has been providing the resources and services needed to identify and help youth who are at-risk for this ever-present problem.

Headquartered in Hendersonville, Tennessee, JFI aims to help communities across the country become more familiar with the warning signs of suicide, and prepares community members by offering the trainings and materials needed to help young people.
