AJR 189 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates calendar week that includes September 10th of each year as "Suicide Prevention Week" in NJ.

This bill designates the week containing September 10th of each year as "Suicide Prevention Week" throughout New Jersey. The primary mechanism is a formal resolution that requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and residents to observe the week with awareness activities and programs. By establishing this official observance, the legislation aims to raise community awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding suicide without creating new funding or operational requirements.
