A NOTE FROM dg JOHN COSGROVE
Hope you're all enjoying the summer! It's been a great start to this Rotary year. We kicked off our first District Staff Meeting in July with a great guest speaker, Debra Visconi CEO and President of New Bridge Medical Center. Deb spoke about Mental Health and behavioral health issues and how our district can help create a stigma free environment.
Bergen County Prosecutor Mussella and Assistant Prosecutor Rebein will be speaking on how Police Officer Community assists those in a mental health crisis. They will talk about how Bergen County has prioritized Early Intervention and providing people with resources prior to a justice involvement. They will speak to their involvement in the Attorney General's ARRIVE initiative - a mental health diversion program. (See details below)
I look forward to seeing you many of you at the DG Staff Meeting. Remember to contact to Forrest Elliot to schedule your district club visit if you have not done so already.
Cost will be $30 which includes buffet dinner and cash bar. Cash, check or card accepted at the Door.
Please RSVP on Club Runner so we can get a head count.
