The mission of the West Orange Suicide Advocacy Coalition (WOSAC) is to gather and streamline public education, supportive services, training, and intervention resources related to suicides in the Township of West Orange.

Our work acknowledges that suicide is a public health issue. Suicide does not have one single cause. Multiple factors, alone or in combination, including but not limited to substance abuse and untreated depression can increase the risk of suicide.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. 

(Centers for Disease Control, 2020).
