NJASP Condemns Racism and Violence Against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color

As an organization dedicated to promoting the well-being of all individuals, The New Jersey Association of School Psychologists (NJASP) stands committed to fighting structural and systematic racism. We express outrage and deep distress regarding the murders of George Floyd, Ahmad Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless other Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Such practices by our institutions have been an ongoing stain on our nation, and continue to impair the dignity and threaten the lives of Black Americans.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information and Resources

What we are experiencing in New Jersey, across the country, and throughout the world is uncharted territory.

While there are still many things up in the air, NJASP continues to compile resources that we hope will be helpful for our members. You will find the most up to date information on our NJASP Wakelet, ("Wakelet" - a content curation platform where you can save links, social media posts, videos, images, etc)
