JEFFERSON — The Morris County Sheriff’s Office HOPE One mobile outreach vehicle made a meaningful stop at the Jefferson Diner on Monday, May 19, offering critical services and resources to the local community.
HOPE One, parked at 5 Bowling Green Parkway from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., provided free Narcan training and distributed life-saving Narcan kits to residents. The outreach initiative aims to combat substance use disorders by connecting individuals with detox, rehabilitation, and mental health services in a stigma-free environment.
Visitors to the HOPE One unit also received information and support related to recovery services, mental health access, and overdose prevention.
The program is a collaborative effort between the Morris County Sheriff’s Office and the Morris County Department of Human Services, in partnership with CARES (Center for Addiction Recovery Education and Success), the Mental Health Association of Morris County, Family Promise of Morris County, Morris County Chiefs of Police, and Jefferson Township Municipal Alliance Committee (JTMAC).
The event underscored the county’s ongoing commitment to promoting awareness, fostering recovery, and reducing the stigma associated with addiction and mental health challenges.
