"Pathways for Caregivers"
Information, Ideas, and Support for those Providing Care for Loved Ones
With Separate Sections for Aging, Disabilities, and Mental Health Caregiving

Pathways for Caregivers was written by caregivers, for caregivers, and is intended to be a source of information, advice, and ideas about how to get the support you need on your caregiving journey.
 
While you will find some organizations and agencies referenced in Pathways, it is NOT meant to be a complete list of all the County agencies and services that are available.  2-1-1 First Call for Help and the Morris County Division on Aging, Disabilities & Veterans/NJ EASE are your best bets for that.  You will find them referenced throughout the pages in all three sections of Pathways.
