Today marked the first meet-up between CMS 8th graders and Milton Avenue preschoolers as they kicked off another year of the cherished CMS–Milton Bridge program. Celebrating its 9th year, the program continues to foster meaningful connections, allowing students of all ages to learn and grow together.
This week, our senior health students welcomed Hope One of Morris County, a mobile recovery outreach unit, to learn about the dangers of opioid misuse and the resources available for those struggling with addiction.
Staffed by a Sheriff’s Officer, a licensed mental health professional, and a certified peer recovery specialist, Hope One provides compassionate support, connects individuals to treatment, and offers life-saving education such as Narcan training. Their mission is to reduce overdoses and expand access to mental health services throughout Morris County.
Thank you, Hope One, for visiting and sharing such life-saving information with our students!
