Op: Jack’s Village (OJV) has completed

Over the past four years, OJV has dedicated over 11 thousand hours of research on the crisis of adolescent, military, and first responder mental health and the escalation in suicidal actions.

Envision a future - Explore and discover their options - Feel Empowered and Motivated to - Execute those options - Ensure a self-sustaining quality of life

Our commitment to defining, measuring, and analyzing a variety of sources—including published studies, focus groups, interviews, and events—to identify the root causes of the adolescent mental health crisis. We recognize that factual information and best practices in this field are often underrepresented and inadequately communicated.

Our efforts to educate families and partner with communities to evaluate how to recognize signs of risk in youth are essential to ending this crisis. We aim to empower everyone to take the initiative so they can make informed and healthy choices. Demonstrating continuous improvement, confirming that we are effectively supporting youth, teens, and emerging adults as they navigate their journey will enable them to survive, thrive, and soar by unlocking their potential.
