Morris Legislative Breakfast

The Morris County Mental Health & Addiction Coalition will host their 8th Annual Legislative Breakfast, providing a forum for community members and policymakers to address mental health developments.

The Annual Legislative Breakfast provides an important opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue with state, county, and local elected officials about issues affecting individuals and families living with mental illness and substance use disorders. It also gives policymakers the opportunity to share their perspectives on legislation and public policy that can shape access to care, treatment, and community supports.
