We need your help!
We are a finalist in the Tom’s of Maine 50 States for Good contest and, with your help, can win a $20,000 grant to help support the renovation of a community center in a small New Jersey town where 10 youth have died by suicide over the last 28 months. This project, which uses teens partnered with adult community members as volunteers, is really important because it will help the youth who have experienced the tragic deaths of so many of their friends focus their energies in a positive way to create a transformed community gathering space inspired by their resilience.


Online Training Now Available The free, interactive series Making Educators Partners in Suicide Prevention is designed to be completed at the viewer's own pace. It provides two hours of professional development credit to New Jersey educators but is open to anyone who is interested in reviewing current strategies for youth suicide prevention in schools.
