About us
The New Jersey Chapter is fueled by the mission to save lives by providing education and support to the Garden State. The grassroots work we do focuses on eliminating the loss of life from suicide by: delivering innovative prevention programs, educating the public about risk factors and warning signs, raising funds for suicide research and programs, and reaching out to those individuals who have lost someone to suicide. As a part of AFSP’s growing nationwide network of chapters, we bring together people from all backgrounds who want to prevent suicide in our communities. Families and friends who have lost someone to suicide, vulnerable individuals, mental health professionals, clergy, educators, students, community/business leaders, and many others energize our chapter.

“Most importantly, I’d like people to feel more comfortable about having an open dialogue regarding mental health. We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. We are all, always, in our feels – and that’s a great place to be.” https://lnkd.in/eW5UW6Fe
