Celebrate May as Mental Health Awareness Month by getting trained as a Mental Health First Aider! We have two different curriculums we’re offering this year for participants. All programs are free and open to members of the community over the age of 18. These programs will take place in-person at the Bernards Township Library (32 S. Maple Ave, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920), but require self-guided virtual learning prior to the in-person session.

Sponsored by the Bernards Township Health Department, Bernards Township Municipal Alliance and Youth Services Commission, EmPoWER Somerset, Community in Crisis, and the Governors Council for Substance Use Disorder. For any additional questions, please contact Susan Visser at svisser@communityincrisis.org.
