The NJ Hope and Healing Crisis Counseling Program (CCP) at the Mental Health Association is here to serve anyone in the community who has been emotionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are a community-based program that offers brief individual, group, and family counseling sessions, along with facilitating workshops and events. All of our services are virtual, confidential, and free as this program is funded by FEMA and SAMHSA.
Any contribution makes possible the enhancement of all our programs for the benefit of those we serve.
Once I met my counselor and started getting the help I needed, I realized I was a strong, independent woman. I became determined to get well. I have been sober for five years, I’m working as a hairdresser to support myself, and I have my own apartment in Morristown. I’m 43 years old and this is the first time I’ve ever lived on my own!
As those who battle depression know, that when you are in a valley, it’s a long and arduous road back. However, I know I’ll make it. Because, I’m taking it day by day, with The Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris serving as a lighthouse showing my path back to shore. I’m not on Terra firma quite yet, but I’m hopeful I will be soon.
