Learn how to “Tap” away stress and anxiety through the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

This service is one of many programs run by CSPNJ, a not-for-profit organization with 25 Wellness Centers throughout the state of New Jersey.

Cracking Up: Stand Up for Mental Health
Featuring: A Voice Award Winning Documentary, Directed by Tara Shortt, Created by David Granirer Laughter is the Best Medicine and Comedy is a Powerful tool to help change public stigma! Cracking Up is a Voice Award Winning Documentary that follows a year in the life of Stand Up For Mental Health (SMH).
In this documentary you will see a group of twelve courageous and naturally gifted people who suffer the stigma of mental illness on a daily basis. Many of them have survived suicide attempts, psychotic breaks and have been in and out of institutions for years. But ultimately, they set out to confront their challenges and find humor in some of their most horrible and emotionally painful experiences. SMH creates a positive and inclusive platform for people to share stories and laughter and contribute towards breaking down and helping end stigma.
