BoroSafe Sponsors Free Gratitude Breakfast

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — BoroSAFE, Hillsborough’s community collaborative dedicated to mental health awareness and suicide prevention, will sponsor a free event called "Gratitude ~ Today and Beyond" on Friday, Dec. 8 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. The event will take place in the Multipurpose Room at the Municipal Complex.

"Gratitude ~ Today and Beyond" will focus on the importance of gratitude and the positive impact it can have on our mental wellness. Members of BoroSafe will facilitate meaningful dialogue about simple ways we can show gratitude. This event is free and includes breakfast hosted by IHOP, but registration is required as space is limited.

BoroSafe’s mission is to provide access to mental health resources, emotional well-being best practices, and suicide prevention resources across the entire Hillsborough Community. A variety of local community organizations will also be present at the event to share information regarding mental health resources, as well as potential volunteer opportunities.

"Although the holiday season is a happy time for many, it can be especially difficult for those dealing with mental health issues. We want to inspire those who attend our event to incorporate the holiday spirit of gratitude and giving into their daily lives, with strategies that are reflective, intentional and action-oriented," according to Minda Maggio, Co-chair for BoroSafe.

The "Gratitude ~ Today and Beyond" event is supported by Hillsborough Township and the Hillsborough School district, which has been designated a Stigma-Free Community since the fall of 2020.

This event is also sponsored by the Youth Services Commission and the Hillsborough Education Association.
