The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is proud to announce the launch of the SAFE NJ Program, an initiative to provide trauma-informed mental health and safety resources to schools across New Jersey. Funded through the STOP School Violence Act grant by the Bureau of Justice Administration (BJA), this nearly $2 million project will extend critical support to high-need school districts statewide through June 30, 2027.
As part of the Murphy Administration’s multi-pronged effort to support youth mental health, the SAFE NJ program includes a trauma-informed Anonymous Reporting System, direct connections for students to New Jersey-based licensed mental health counselors through a partnership with the 2NDFLOOR Youth Helpline, ensuring immediate, professional support for those in crisis. Grant partners include STOPit Solutions and Empower Somerset.
The initiative builds on existing NJDOH youth and family wellness programs, offering the SAFE NJ App as a key element of a continuum of services aimed at keeping students, staff, and families safe and healthy.
