New Jersey Statewide Student Support Services
NJ4S is a statewide, innovative hub-and-spoke model which supports youth mental wellness and promotes prevention of bullying, teen suicide, substance use, and more. Most importantly, the hub staff will connect students and their parents/caregivers to other services that support students' social, emotional and mental health and well-being.
Acenda’s longstanding commitment to the students and families in our communities, as well as our belief in trust-based partnerships, will be a great benefit to the NJ4S program. The health of the children we serve has always been our top priority, and we want to work with you to ensure they and their families are safe, well, and thriving.
Acenda was recently awarded funding to administer the NJ Statewide Student Support Services (NJ4S) program.
What you can expect from us:
In-depth knowledge and understanding of the communities and schools within
Whole-family approach to prevention programming
Longstanding and established partnerships in the communities
Demonstrated success with providing care and support within schools
Dedication to ensuring care equity for all
Each NJ4S Hub will have a community advisory group and a branded website that will provide access to resources, referral information, Hub staff contact information, calendar of events and general information. Also, Hub activities will be provided onsite at schools as well as within the community. Hubs will also coordinate as needed with existing School Based Youth Services programs.
