Recognizing September as National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

September is national Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and the Mendhams Stigma-Free Task Force asks residents to join us in our mission of removing the stigma around mental health issues. Especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and stress have increased dramatically. People are concerned about getting sick and unwittingly spreading the illness to a vulnerable loved one. There are heightened worries about lost income and unemployment. Many are struggling with social isolation. Parents and students are facing unknowns with the start of a new school year. And, overall, there is a pervasive uncertainty about the future. As a result, calls to New Jersey’s suicide prevention hotlines have escalated. And young adults are among the most at risk. In a report issued last month by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four young adults, between the ages of 18-24, said they had considered suicide in the past month because of the pandemic, and more than 40% of those surveyed indicated they have experienced a mental or behavioral health condition connected to COVID-19. Our own community has experienced the heartbreaking loss of young people who died by suicide, which brought us together in collective grief and support for those families. The Stigma-Free Task Force hopes this month will serve as a catalyst to focus on mental health. We encourage residents to seek support for themselves and to help family, friends and neighbors seek help. A simple check-in text, phone call or e-mail can go a long way toward showing someone they are not alone. You can visit our Stigma-Free Task Force Webpage, to access a variety of resources, hotlines, community organization and support groups at: http://www.mendhamtownship.org/cn/webpage.cfm?tpid=17312 You can also follow the Stigma-Free Task Force on Facebook and Instagram @mendhamstigmafree. Below is a list of resources that are a good place to start in seeking help for you or a loved one: NJMentalHealthCares - If you are feeling the emotional and mental toll of COVID-19, call (866-202-4327) for free, confidential support from trained specialists 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. Crisis Text Line - Free 24/7 support for those in crisis. Text 741741 from anywhere in the United States to get support from a trained crisis counselor. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline - Offers free and confidential support for people in distress.

Labor Day Weekend 2020

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

For many, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. Labor Day, however, was created to recognize the significant contributions that the American workforce has made to our country. This Labor Day, we are especially grateful for our essential workers who continue to put themselves and their families in harm’s way in order to provide services to our communities. As our state continues its reopening plan with the resumption of indoor dining and the reopening of gyms, let’s not forget the sacrifices of so many to keep us safe every day. Yesterday marked six months since the first COVID-19 positive case in New Jersey. As the numbers in New Jersey continue to trend downward, we need to remain vigilant and not forget the important measures that led to case numbers declining. Over the last few months, our medical community has reduced mortality over time using therapeutics, and as they have learned more about the virus and what treatments worked, they've had even more success in treating patients. However, the best course of action is to prevent getting sick in the first place. With that in mind, please continue to practice social distancing, stay at least six feet apart, wear a face covering, wash hands frequently, and if you are sick, stay home. As we end the summer and kids go back to school, the state reported that out of the 746 camps opened this summer, there were only four outbreaks which included one camper and four staff members. That's an amazing testament to the precautions that residents across New Jersey have taken and the non-pharmaceutical interventions that were practiced in our camps. This Labor Day Weekend, be sure to reflect, stay safe, and enjoy the holiday. Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township
