Funded by FEMA/SAMHSA, the CCP is for anyone who has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. There services are free, confidential, and virtual. Through individual counseling and support groups, they are offering emotional support, guidance, information, referrals, and COVID-19 resources that can help people who have been affected by the pandemic. They can serve anyone from a school-age child to an adult, or senior citizen, and they would like to focus on Morris and Essex County residents.
