Suicide prevention awareness doesn’t end in September! CFC’s Supervisors and Managers participated in a full day Suicide Prevention Training provided by the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide. The day was filled with lots of dialogue, tools and resources on how supervisors can support the work of the Care Managers.

Employee wellness used to mean offering comprehensive healthcare benefits, but now, healthcare is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to supporting employee well-being. Many employee wellness programs now encompass a more nuanced understanding of well-being. Instead of only focusing on physical health, programs now offer support for mental, emotional, and financial health, too. CFC's Creating all Good Committee, focuses on the 6 dimensions of wellness when planning employee events: Occupational, Physical, Social, Intellectual, Spiritual and Emotional. CFC hosted an Employee Wellness Fair and we had great vendors: Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey Valley Commercial Banking GYMGUYZ , Garden of Healing Yoga & Wellness, Berry Street Delta Dental, Lightbridge Academy, Aflac Middlesex County NJ Government, Affinity Federal Credit Union& The Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs, Inc.
