On Friday, 10/11, the Essex County Mental Health Coalition, an active group of service providers, advocates, and concerned family members, will host their 24th Annual Legislative Breakfast at the Wilshire Grand in West Orange, NJ from 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. The purpose of this breakfast is to provide members of our community, whose personal and/or professional lives are involved with issues pertaining to mental illnesses, an opportunity to address ongoing developments in the field of mental health. It is also an important forum for legislators and policy makers to interact with this very involved and committed constituency.
