Designates calendar week that includes September 10th of each year as "Suicide Prevention Week" in NJ.
SJR 118 is a symbolic resolution designating the calendar week beginning Sunday that includes September 10th each year as "Suicide Prevention Week" in New Jersey. It asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and residents to observe the week with awareness activities. The resolution does not create new laws or services but aims to raise public awareness about suicide prevention, referencing New Jersey's existing resources like the Suicide Hopeline. It directly affects the Governor (through the proclamation request) and the public (through calls for community observance).
