New on YouTube: “Wellness Without Borders: How Culture Shapes Mental Health” presented by Briana Ampadu.

This session explores how our cultural backgrounds influence the way we understand, express, and care for our mental health.

From family traditions to community beliefs, Briana unpacks how culture can both support and challenge our wellness—and how we can create more inclusive, understanding spaces for healing.

Watch now on the Prevention Links YouTube channel and join the conversation about mental health through a cultural lens: https://youtu.be/_KQ0NdysIVI

Seguimos celebrando el Mes de la Herencia Hispana.

Esta semana, el Elizabethport Community Center abrió sus puertas a la comunidad para disfrutar un día lleno de comida, cultura y conexión.

Tuvimos el honor de recibir al alcalde Chris Bollwage, al concejal general Manny Grova y al comisionado del distrito escolar Isaias Rivera, quienes nos acompañaron para reconocer a las vibrantes comunidades hispanas que hacen de Elizabeth/Elizabethport lugares tan especiales.

Desde los platos típicos hasta la música, el arte y las historias compartidas, el evento fue un hermoso recordatorio de la fuerza que nace de la unidad y nuestras raíces comunes.

Gracias a todos los que se unieron a la celebración y a nuestros socios del Elizabethport Community Center por hacer posible este gran evento.

On October 16, Maddy and Jesse represented Prevention Links at the Strength in Collaboration networking event, hosted by New Jersey Recovery Solutions and Discovery Institute in honor of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month.

The event brought together leaders and partners from across the recovery field to share ideas, strengthen connections, and celebrate the power of collaboration in prevention and recovery.

We’re grateful to the hosts for creating space for meaningful dialogue and partnership—and to all who continue working toward healthier, more resilient communities across New Jersey.

Earlier this week, Prevention Links staff from across our divisions came together at theElizabethport Community Center for our Hispanic Heritage Month Luncheon.

We celebrated the vibrant cultures and traditions that enrich our community every day—sharing homemade dishes, learning about history and customs, and enjoying music, dancing, and laughter together.

It was a day of unity, appreciation, and connection, reminding us how diversity strengthens the Prevention Links family.

This is only Part One of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, stay tuned for Part Two!
