NEWTON, NJ (Sussex County) – The Sussex County Board of County Commissioners is launching a Peer Support Group specifically designed for veterans in Sussex County. This initiative aims to provide a welcoming space for military veterans who may feel isolated or are seeking support in managing stress related to their service.
The support group will offer valuable information about available programs and services for veterans, guidance on accessing these resources, and referrals as needed. Participants can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, complete with coffee, games, or simply a friendly chat.
Peer support groups create a structured environment where veterans can share their experiences, insights, and coping strategies. Through connecting with others, participants can find validation for their feelings and gain new perspectives on managing their challenges, ultimately fostering a sense of community and well-being.
Meetings will be held in-person in the first-floor conference room at the Sussex County Administrative Center in Newton from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month, with the next session scheduled for October 23, 2024.
For more information and to register, please contact the Sussex County Division of Senior Services at 973-579-0555, ext. 1135, or email Rgerow@sussex.nj.us. This program is funded and administered by the Sussex County Board of County Commissioners.
