Mental Health Association in New Jersey

MHANJ was pleased to participate in Collaborative Support Programs of New Jersey (CSPNJ)'s fabulous #Fallfest event yesterday, Sept. 12, featuring a great opportunity for fun and wellness activities for peers, staff and friends. Our own Barbara Johnson and Merrill Altberg were happy to support our community partners and catch up with old and new collagues. A good time was had by all!

Due to unprecedented challenges to their mental well-being, a supportive environment and supportive adults can make a big difference in the lives of young people today. For Mental Health America's resource guide click https://lnkd.in/eeMqKRgT
