With the number of new COVID cases, deaths and hospitalizations on the rise, New Jersey has launched two helplines for frontline health care workers and first responders. “The holiday season can be a stressful one in good times, but for countless frontline workers the pandemic has made things even harder on their mental health,” Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday. “Please know first, that it is OK to not be OK. And second, that help is available and just a phone call away.” The Department of Human Services in partnership with Rutgers University Behavioral Health care is providing emotional support and crisis counseling to these workers on the frontlines of the pandemic.
