Wellbeing Support

Healing comes in many forms, including creativity, comfort, and connection. Our programs are designed to meet patients where they are, offering meaningful moments of peace, joy, and self-expression along the way.

Art is a powerful way to process emotions, reclaim identity, and find peace in the moment. In our Art & Expression Workshops, patients are invited to explore journaling, painting, and more in a calming, supportive environment. Led by volunteer art teachers, each session fosters emotional release, self-reflection, and a sense of accomplishment. No art experience needed, just an open heart.

Our furry visitors bring comfort, laughter, and a welcome break from the day. Therapy dogs visit on a rotating schedule, varying month-to-month, between the Berkeley Heights, Florham Park, and Clifton campuses.

The Comfort Cart is more than a mobile tray, it’s a moment of kindness on wheels. Staffed by friendly volunteers, it brings patients and team members genuine conversation and small comforts, including snacks & beverages, socks and cozy blankets, crossword puzzles, and other gifts and cute and calming distractions.
