A powerful morning of advocacy, connection, and conversation at the Morris County Mental Health Coalition’s 8th Annual Legislative Breakfast on 10/9!

This sold-out event brought together elected officials, community leaders, mental health and addiction professionals, and community partners to discuss the challenges facing our communities and the collaboration and solutions needed to move the work forward.

We’re grateful to all of our incredible co-sponsors for helping make this event possible. Your partnership and commitment to mental health and addiction services help strengthen the conversation and advance this important work across Morris County.

We were honored to hear from Senator Anthony M. Bucco, Assemblywoman Aura Dunn, Morris County Sheriff's Office James M. Gannon, and Morris County’s First Assistant Prosecutor Meg Rodriguez, who shared their perspectives on the importance of continued advocacy and support for mental health and addiction services. We also heard from Care Plus NJ President & CEO Brigitte Johnson, Esq., who spoke about the 24/7 Crisis Stabilization Receiving Centers. These centers provide a safe, therapeutic alternative to hospital emergency rooms and jail diversion settings for individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.

A special thank you to our guest speakers, Dr. Jeffrey Brenner, CEO of The Jewish Board, and Michelle Borden, LCSW, President & CEO (Ret.) of NewBridge Services, for sharing their expertise, experiences, and insights with our community.

As comes to a close, this event served as an important reminder that awareness is only the beginning. Creating meaningful change means continuing the conversation, breaking down stigma, supporting those who need it, and advocating for accessible mental health and addiction services, not just this week, but every day.

Today, October 10, is .

Mental health is community health.

When people have access to care, support, connection, and resources, our communities are stronger. That’s why MHA works every day to expand access to mental health and addiction services, meet people where they are, and create pathways to recovery and wellness.

Mental health belongs in every conversation, every community, and every day.

Let’s keep showing up for ourselves, for one another, and for the communities we call home.

Community events like these are a great opportunity to connect, build relationships, and remind people that help is available and no one has to navigate challenges alone.

MHA kicked off hashtag by hosting the 26th Annual Essex County Mental Health and Addiction Coalition’s Legislative Breakfast on October 2!

The sold-out event brought together more than 340 elected officials, executives, stakeholders, and community members to discuss pressing issues in mental health and addiction, explore opportunities for progress, and identify solutions to ongoing challenges in the field.

Elected officials who addressed the audience included Senator John F. McKeon, West Orange Susan McCartney, and Essex County Clerk Christopher J. Durkin. This year’s keynote speaker was Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jennifer Egan, known for her novel 'The Candy House'.
