Mental Health Association of New Jersey
Mental health illness is not a “made-up” sickness that exists only in the mind. Nor is it something that an individual can banish with sheer willpower; It is a medical condition. Mental Health Illness, like all other medical conditions, requires proper medical care and treatment.

If you feel or suspect you are suffering from a mental health issue, depression, or are having trouble operating on a day-to-day basis, please contact the Mental Health Association of New Jersey.  You can call or text 973-571-4100 or speak to someone in person at 673 Morris Avenue Suite 100 Springfield,New Jersey.

AUGUST IS NATIONAL BREASTFEEDING AWARENESS MONTH
Do you know the wonders of breast milk? There are many reasons why mothers should breastfeed. Breastfeeding lowers your baby's risk of having asthma or allergies. Plus, babies who are breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months, without any formula, have fewer ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and bouts of diarrhea.
