support groups a week. All this information can be found on NAMINJ.org. Some support groups will be in
Spanish starting next week offered in Middlesex County, Hudson County and Hunterdon County. Many
webinars are being held on a weekly basis that can be found on all social media platforms. A gap is being
seen in older adults and finding a way to communicate with them taking in mind they might not have
