BERGEN COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT RESOURCES: Please click here for a comprehensive list of services and contact information for Bergen County mental health and community support resources accessible during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. The events of this past week remind us of how stressful these times are. Life is hard under the best, “most normal’ circumstances and the circumstances in which we find ourselves are extraordinary -- stressful, isolating, disconcerting, frustrating. The Haworth Hope Fund is here for you and your loved ones. No questions asked. Please share our contact info (Haworthhopefund@gmail.com) with anyone who you’re concerned may need assistance.
