The Kansas – A Friend Asks app was developed by The Jason Foundation, Inc. (JFI) and the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Kansas to provide the people of Kansas with the tools and resources needed to help a friend that may be struggling.

The Jason Foundation is a nationally recognized leader in youth and young adult suicide awareness and prevention programs.  JFI utilizes and employs a “grassroots” approach to reach communities across the nation.  

The Office of the Attorney General is established by the Kansas Constitution. As the state's chief legal officer and top law enforcement official, the Attorney General performs a range of duties as prescribed by state law and legal precedents. The office is organized into several divisions and units charged with performing these various functions. The Youth Suicide Prevention program is housed in the AG’s Youth Services Division and coordinates statewide efforts to address youth suicide in Kansas.
