NJ HOPE & Healing program works through Catholic Charities Diocese of Metuchen along with the Diocese of Trenton. They offer general information and referrals along with emotional support to anyone that might need assistance. This is a free service and all the information provided is confidential (we do not ask for a personal name). Our goal is to provide a “neighbor helping neighbor” approach where we address and talk about the reactions and impact of COVID-19 on the individual, family, and or the community. Additionally, we stress and highlight that they (the individuals) are not alone in this process, and link them to community resources that may be beneficial to them and or their family. For example, such resources can be identifying available financial assistance or identifying free virtual programming in the community such as those provided by the Family Success Centers, libraries, and local community centers. Below is a link to NJ Hope & Healing and our role in the community. Should someone in the community feel the need to talk and acquire this service, I can be reached at (732) 646-4077 Monday through Friday from 9 – 4 pm. Click
