Stigma-Free Council Kickoff Meeting February 18

Franklin Township Stigma-Free Council Kicks Off 2026  - And You’re Invited!

Franklin Township residents are invited to start the new year with purpose at the 2026 Kickoff Meeting of the Franklin Township Stigma-Free Council being held Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 6:30 pm at the Franklin Township Community Senior Center located at 505 DeMott Lane, Somerset, NJ.

To join as a member or attend as a guest, please rsvp with your name, phone number, and e-mail address to Saffie Kallon at [email protected]

The Council is bringing the community together to continue an important mission: breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders. And the best part? Everyone has a role to play.

The kickoff meeting will highlight plans for the year ahead, including stigma-free events, youth programs, resource workshops, and creative public awareness campaigns designed to spark conversation and build understanding throughout the Township.

So, whether you’ve been involved for years or are simply curious about how you can make a difference, this meeting is a great place to start.

Attendees will have the chance to:

  • Meet other passionate community members
  • Share ideas and experiences
  • Create dynamic community programming
  • Learn about volunteer and leadership opportunities
  • Help shape the Council’s goals for 2026

Stigma often grows from misunderstanding and silence. By coming together, Franklin Township residents can create a community where people feel safe asking for help and supported in their recovery journey.

If you care about mental health, want to support local youth, or simply believe in building a more compassionate, informed community, your voice matters.

Join the Franklin Township Stigma-Free Council for its 2026 Kickoff Meeting and help make this year one of connection, compassion, and action.

Please join us Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 6:30 pm at the Franklin Township Community Senior Center located at 505 DeMott Lane, Somerset, NJ.

To join as a member or attend as a guest, please RSVP with your name phone number, and e-mail address to Saffie Kallon at [email protected]
