We offer programming and support across the lifespan in several areas that encourage people on their path to recovery, give youth the skills they need for smart and health decisions, give parents the support that they need, support older adults to encourage wellness, and arm communities with the tools they need to reduce substance misuse.

Get Connected: Linking Older Adults with Resources on Medication, Alcohol, and Mental Health - Passaic County
Alcohol and medication misuse and mental health conditions can be significant problems for older adults. Our growing life expectancy, coupled with the aging of the “baby boom” generation make the need to address these issues more critical than ever before. As with other age groups, by preventing these problems from occurring in the first place, and by addressing them promptly when they do arise, we can enhance the lives and health of millions of older Americans. The Get Connected program was created to help older adults learn more about alcohol and medication misuse and mental health conditions in older adults so they can address these issues more effectively.
