Substance use prevention starts in childhood. One prevention strategy, known as Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), focuses on everyday experiences for children. This can be as simple as being a positive, stable figure in a child's life.

We know children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and well-connected. By creating environments where youth feel valued and included, communities can play a vital role in lowering substance use, reducing mental health challenges, and promoting overall well-being.

Knowing the maternal warning signs, what to look for both pre and post-partum, are key to a successful pregnancy and keeping mom safe.

On Maternal Health Awareness Day, the Obstetrics’ Chairs at our nine birthing hospitals share life-saving messages about urgent maternal warning signs.

“Protecting mothers’ lives is a top priority at our health system. Every mother deserves safe, respectful, high-quality care—before, during, and after pregnancy,” says Suzanne Spernal, Senior Vice President, Women’s Services at RWJBarnabas Health.

This International Mentoring Day, we’re shining the spotlight on the importance of stories of shared learning and support! RWJBarnabas Health launched a system-wide Mentorship Program in October 2025, recognizing that mentorship is key for career wellbeing. To date, the program has 400+ combined mentee and mentor participants. Here, we kick off a special series, “Mentorship in Motion,” where some of our program participants talk about their journeys, discoveries and accomplishments - individually and together - and what this connection means.
