Catholic Charities Diocese of Metuchen is offering a free service to assist residents of our Diocese in receiving support and education on how to understand and obtain mental health services and help remove barriers that often exist when trying to figure out where to start.
Launched in February of 2024 and rooted in the values of Catholic social teaching, “the Mental Health Navigator Program … represents a significant stride toward helping to meet the need for crucial mental health assistance and resources for those who require them,” wrote Bishop James F. Checchio, in an April message about the new service.
Adults, the elderly and disabled, and our youth, are living in troubling times, especially in light of the failure to respect life, with the challenges of addiction, end of life issues, violence, and disease impacting the mental and emotional health of many.
If you or a loved one would benefit from support during these trying times, please reach out to the Mental Health Navigator service by calling 732-857-3811 for Middlesex County residents, or 908-333-2282 for Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties’ residents. Leave a message on the confidential voicemail line. A Navigator will call back within 24 hours.
