Photos from the Winter Ball held in January by PCIL's Community Connections Program!

Moments like these matter. ❄️✨

Programs like our Winter Ball create space for connection, confidence, and joy — things that are just as important as services and supports.

For many people with disabilities, inclusive social opportunities can be limited. Events like this remove barriers, build community, and remind people they belong exactly as they are.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this night special.
This is what meaningful programming looks like in Mercer County and Hunterdon County, NJ.

Snowstorms have a way of showing us what worked — and what didn’t.

If this week raised questions like:
• Was I prepared enough?
• What would I do differently next time?

That’s exactly what emergency preparedness training is for.

PCIL offers emergency preparedness education for people with disabilities in Mercer County and Hunterdon County, NJ — so the next storm feels more manageable.
No pressure. Just information and tools.

A shared goal in Mercer County is keeping our communities safe, supported, and prepared.

Mental health challenges aren’t always visible—and without the right tools, barriers to support can grow quickly. Mental Health First Aid training helps people recognize warning signs, respond with confidence, and connect others to help before a crisis escalates.

👥 Open to first responders, healthcare providers, municipal employees, community organizations, and the public
