Thank you to Assemblywoman Aura Dunn for taking the time to meet with MHA and our partners Community Hope and NewBridge Services.

Assemblywoman Dunn has been a longtime advocate for mental health and addiction recovery services, both in the 25th District and throughout New Jersey.

The vibrant discussion focused on how we can better support access to care, strengthen community-based services, and ensure no one falls through the cracks. We appreciate Assemblywoman Dunn’s interest and support.

At our March board meeting, members of the Hope One Van, an outreach initiative of the Morris County Sheriff's Office, provided hands-on training on the use of Narcan.

Board members learned how to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose, when and how to administer Narcan, and the critical steps to take while waiting for emergency responders. This training not only builds confidence in responding to a crisis, but also reinforces our shared commitment to harm reduction, education, and saving lives in our community.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner in this important work and to continue expanding access to life-saving knowledge.

We’ll gather for the fashion. We’ll cheer for the race. We’ll celebrate together. But at the heart of Derby Day is something bigger than the finish line.

Every ticket to Derby Day with MHA helps fund critical mental health programs in our community, providing education, support, advocacy, and resources for those who need it most.

Mental health affects all of us. And when we show up, celebrate, and give back together, we help break stigma and build stronger support systems for everyone.

Join us on May 2 from 4–8 PM at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center as we watch the Kentucky Derby live and raise funds for mental health.
Because this isn’t just a celebration, it’s purpose.

March is Social Work Month, a time to recognize the compassion, dedication, and lasting impact of social workers everywhere.

From supporting people in crisis to advocating for access to care, social workers play a vital role in strengthening our communities every single day.

This World Social Work Day, we celebrate the compassion, dedication, and resilience of social workers everywhere. Your commitment to uplifting others does not go unnoticed.

Thank you for the difference you make every day.

Our Director of Su***de Prevention Services, Genaya Palmer, and Director of Self-Help, Advocacy, and Education, Madine Despeine-Udoh, recently presented at the Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township and led a conversation about mental health.

They discussed what mental health means, why it matters, and how we can support one another. The presentation also covered how to recognize when someone may be struggling, how to start a caring and supportive conversation, and what resources are available for those who may need help.

Thank you to the church community and worship leaders Rev. Dr. Edwin D. Aponte and Rev. Thomas A. Brown for welcoming us and creating a safe space for this important conversation.

March is a time to recognize the strength, brilliance, and determination of women who shape our families, workplaces, and communities every day. Their contributions are powerful, lasting, and worthy of celebration.

At MHA, we know that mental health is an essential part of overall well-being. While our mission supports individuals of all backgrounds, we also acknowledge the unique experiences that can impact women’s mental health. We remain committed to creating inclusive spaces for conversation, connection, and care.

💜 To the women showing up each day with courage — we see you.
💜 To the women advocating for themselves and others — keep going.
💜 To those who may be struggling quietly — support is here.

Together, let’s continue fostering understanding, compassion and access to mental health resources, this month and every month.

Thank you to the Thursday Morning Club, a women’s organization dedicated to improving the community through volunteer service, for welcoming members of our team to speak about mental health facts and myths and the important work MHA is doing in our communities.

Our Director of Self Help Advocacy & Education, Madine Despeine-Udoh, and NJ4S Supervising Prevention Consultant, David Mills, had a wonderful time connecting with members and sharing more about our work. We are especially grateful for the connection through our Board President, Barbara Small, who is also a member of the club. Also pictured with our team is Thursday Morning Club Past President, Susan Pa**ie.

The club also generously created care baskets filled with household cleaning essentials for our clients transitioning into housing. These thoughtful donations will directly support the individuals and families we serve.

We truly appreciate their kindness and commitment to strengthening our community.
