The Healthy Orange Coalition meets on the first Thursday of every month at 6pm. If you would like to join us, please email HealthyOrangeNJ@gmail.com or ernest@orangehuub.org to request the Zoom meeting information.
We’ve accomplished many things since we began meeting weekly, and eventually bi-weekly, during the pandemic, and all of it is coming together now in our Turn on the Love Campaign. But why Turn on the Love, you might ask? Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove, an urban psychiatrist and, among many other things, a co-creator of the Healthy Orange Coalition, says that, “Turning on the love keeps you from overreacting and restores your calm in those moments when you need it most.” You can read the rest of Dr. Fullilove’s strategy for getting through the disaster in this wonderful blog post.
We see this as Collective Recovery work - each of the organization’s in the coalition is doing what it can to help the city’s communities heal together through these collective traumas.
