About the AFSP New Jersey chapter

Events   |   Lifesaver Blog   |   Programs 

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.

This year, I wanted to share some information with all of you; our supporters, volunteers, our people that make us who we are. We realize that none of the work we do would be possible if it wasn’t for your donations, your time, your interest and your passion for suicide prevention….continue reading
