The partnership will also implement community-based engagement projects to raise awareness about addiction and the overdose crisis.

Beginning in January, leaders from Jersey City’s Department of Health and Human Services and CGI will lead a cohort of 20 faith leaders through in-person sessions on a range of topics related to substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery over six to eight months, officials said.
