Thank you for your interest in Friends of West Bergen. Since its launch last spring, Friends has received an enthusiastic response from every segment of the community. Membership now totals over 200!

The purpose of Friends is to aid and support the achievement of goals of the agency.
• To advocate for West Bergen Mental Healthcare in our communities.
• To increase awareness of West Bergen Mental Healhcare and its mission.
• To generate financial support.

Our hope is that Friends will be a large 'fun' group. Members will be involved in activities they enjoy – playing bridge & poker, bowling, dining, dancing, discussing books, seeing movies or shows, etc.

The vision of what Friends will be is taking shape. We need you to give us your ideas, energy and input.
