SPECIAL BULLETINS PROVIDE EASY ACCESS TO TIMELY TOPICS
The pages of the NJ 2-1-1 Web site are intended to provide educational information about how to navigate the health and human service system in our state. Toward that end, we focus on topic areas based upon needs that are commonly expressed and then we provide information about programs and services that are designed to address those needs. We make every effort to provide links to other Web sites that will offer further information and whenever possible we provide contact names, numbers and locations.
