Division of Mental Health Service Seeks Input From Families

People who attend NAMI Union County’s public meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at the American Legion Post at 1003 North Ave. in Westfield at 7:30 p.m. will have an opportunity to give input about family needs to a representative from the NJ Division of Mental Health Services.

 

Bill Chepiga will be speaking at the event and will ask those in attendance to express their needs so that the state can better address the needs of family members with loved ones with a mental illness. He will share his findings with Lynn Kovich, head of the division. This is a chance to get the state to listen to your concerns and ideas and have a real impact on state services for the mentally ill and their families.
