A new national survey shows that 80% of Americans believe that suicide prevention should be a national priority as a result of the pandemic, and 52% report being more open to talking about mental health as a result of COVID-19.
To observe National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, National Suicide Prevention Week, and World Suicide Prevention Day, EDC is offering events, tips, and tools to help you take action to build resilience and prevent suicide.
EDC has been selected to evaluate the impact of the STAR Net STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Equity Project on Latino preteens in small, rural communities.
EDC will build on its Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) work through a new strategic partnership led by The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC).
EDC has been selected to implement the USAID-funded Teach for Tomorrow project in Egypt to support improvements in primary-level instruction across the country.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded EDC a three-year grant to continue leading the STEM Learning and Research Center (STELAR), a national initiative to address STEM learning opportunity gaps, ignite interest in STEM, and prepare young people for future careers in STEM.
We look forward to listening, especially to our Black colleagues within EDC and the communities we serve, and continuing to work with our partners to develop concrete actions we can take together.
Videos by EDC STEM education experts Eden Badertscher, Jackie DeLisi, and Randy Kochevar won awards in the 2020 National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM for All Video Showcase.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) selected EDC to lead Opportunity 2.0, a five-year, $37.5 million project supporting out-of-school youth for better education, employment, and livelihood outcomes.
Through this new initiative, the Action Alliance will convene government agencies, corporations, and nongovernmental organizations to comprehensively and collectively address mental health and suicide prevention.
