Thriving in 2021
2020 was definitely a difficult year and 2021 is off to a challenging start as well. There is so much uncertainty about what each day will hold, that sometimes we may feel frightened, sad, angry, or hopeless. It is our connections to others, even virtual connections, that will enable us to thrive even during the worst of times.
To help you cope through these trying times, we have shared links that may offer you a break from negative emotions and help to provide you some peace, hope, and encouragement.
If you are looking for a positive connection, someone who you can share your thoughts and feelings with confidentially, please reach out to your counselor. We are all available via email and by phone (908) 454-3400:
