From NewBridge Services

Members of Morris County’s anti-drug coalition, including NewBridge Services, came together earlier this month for the 2015 Countywide Prevention Forum.

Attendees watched a trailer of the upcoming documentary, Epidemic H, which shines a light on the devastating toll heroin is taking on people throughout New Jersey. To save lives, the coalition is working to change attitudes and eliminate stigma surrounding heroin addiction and treatment.

The forum, held at the Morris Museum, was sponsored by the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris and the Morris County Department of Human Services.
