The Down Syndrome Association of Central New Jersey (DSACNJ) is a non-profit parent support group, established to assist families of children and adults with Down syndrome (i.e., Trisomy 21) in the following ways:
We are an initial point of contact for local families who have received a diagnosis that their newborn or unborn child has Down Syndrome;
We provide support, encouragement and up-to-date information to parents of children with Down syndrome and to others whose lives are touched by them;
We offer meetings and social gatherings for people with Down Syndrome and their families;
We disseminate information to our members about events, activities, speakers, conferences and other resources of interest to the Down syndrome community.
We maintain a network of families to foster an exchange of information regarding local medical resources, conferences, development programs, educational programs, etc. from which our families can benefit;
We celebrate the lives of our children and encourage them to reach their full potential;
We promote the inclusion of all people with Down syndrome in our schools and community through advocacy and information; and
We are affiliated with the National Down Syndrome Congress and the National Down Syndrome Society.
We strive to use every part of the tree to make world-class products for customers in over 150 countries. From paper and pulp to cosmetics, medicine and more, we are driving the bio-based circular economy alongside our partners to help build a thriving, more sustainable world.
We operate woodfibre manufacturing facilities on three continents (ten production facilities in Western Europe, four in North America and five in Southern Africa). Our scale magnifies our impact. Every year we produce 5.7 million tons of paper, 2.4 million tons of paper pulp, and 1.4 million tons per year of dissolving pulp.
