Day 9 of Veterans 21 County Tour

Morris County is an example of county and state government working together. The 21 County Veterans Tour stopped at the Mental Health Association (MHA) to learn more about the important work they do to foster mental health resilience among veterans in northern New Jersey.

If you’re a veteran struggling with your mental health, please know you don’t have to do it alone. Support is available, and reaching out is a sign of strength. If you or someone you love is in crisis, dial 988 + 1. If you would like information about no cost counseling, contact the NJ Vet to Vet Helpline to speak with a fellow veteran. You served us. Now let us support you.

Later in the day, the 21 County Veterans Tour stopped in Mercer County to visit our amazing partners at Dress for Success of Central Jersey.

Since launching the Office of Women Veterans earlier this year, we’ve built a wonderful partnership with their dedicated team to help veterans in our community and those in our Havens prepare for their next career. Through personalized support and the generosity of dedicated volunteers, veterans can find the perfect outfit to step confidently into their next chapter.

While in Mercer County, Commissioner Solomeno and Deputy Commissioner Chucaralao then spent the afternoon with U.S. Army Veteran Medina Wilson and her team at Mercer County Government Veterans Services.
