The JEVI Team

JEVI has a small team that can move mountains! Every member has their role to play and provides support in their own way. Our dedicated team is convinced that, one action at a time, suicide can be prevented.

The members of the JEVI Team

More than anything else, the JEVI team is a small team of workers motivated by a tremendous spirit of collaboration and a constant concern to offer the best of ourselves to the community. The team exhibits fantastic synergy and a deeply held conviction that we can and must contribute to suicide prevention.
