Protecting
New Jersey’s Kids
in a Digital Age

New Jersey STAT Alliance is a growing coalition working to address the youth mental health crisis linked to screen addiction, social media, and emerging technologies.

Taking a Stand for Our Kids

We bring together parents, educators, policymakers, and community leaders who recognize a shared reality: technology is evolving faster than our ability to protect children from its risks.

Rising rates of anxiety, depression, and social disconnection among young people are not random - they are linked to how children are interacting with screens and digital platforms every day.

We believe childhood should be healthy, connected, and largely screen-free. And we believe meaningful change starts now.

What We Do

Build Awareness & Community

We convene parents, educators, and community members through regular meetings and events to discuss emerging challenges and share evidence-based insights.

Education & Resources

We provide practical tools to help families and organizations reduce screen time, set healthy boundaries, and support children’s well-being.

Policy &
Legislation

We work with elected officials to advance policies that protect children, holding technology companies accountable and establishing common-sense safeguards around youth access and usage.

Real change requires action at every level, from the home to
the State House.
