MENTAL HEALTH Cause Week

Meet the NJECC charities that address this cause:

Mental illnesses are common and treatable. People struggling with mental health may be in your family, live next door, teach your children, work in the next cubicle, sit in the same church pew, or perhaps you yourself are the one struggling with mental health. Unfortunately, only half of those affected receive treatment because of the stigma attached to mental health. Untreated, mental illness can contribute to higher medical expenses, poorer performance at school and work, fewer employment opportunities and increased risk of suicide.

If you care about supporting mental health, show that #NewJerseyGives by making your pledge to charities working in this cause area.
