“‘Connecting our Community’ is the theme for our 2022 initiatives and part of that involves reaching out to residents and addressing mental health and well-being,” said Commissioner Chair Rebecca L. Williams. “Mental health is health. This series of free webinars will work to establish an open dialogue among residents when discussing a topic that is sometimes omitted when we talk about our well-being.”
The presenter for this event will be Alyssa Reiner, MPA, MSW, LCSW, RYT200. Ms. Reiner is a Social Worker for Jewish Family Services of Central New Jersey. The format for this webinar will be a blend of educational and experiential and Ms. Reiner will incorporate mindfulness exercises throughout the event.
The webinar series is being coordinated by in partnership with the Office on Behavioral Health and Substance Abuse (OBHSA), the Division of Individual and Family Support Services, the Union County Department of Human Services and Jewish Family Services of Central New Jersey.
