Thrive Jersey

Thrive Jersey is an ambitious place-based platform bringing together the components for solving mental illness – prevention, best care, and people power. Starting in a small self-governing community, we seek to develop scalable solutions to demonstrate a positive shift in population mental health from cradle to grave. We are also leading a community-led suicide awareness and prevention initiative, in collaboration with government and mental health service.
