180 Turning Lives Around

My name is Patricia Behrens, I am the Outreach Coordinator for New Jersey’s 2NDFLOOR Youth Helpline. It is my responsibility to facilitate and participate in outreach events on behalf of the helpline to engage the youth in proactive mental health care. Assuring every youth within our scope knows and has access to this free services which will help to save lives. This work also permits the ability to be on the front lines on the helpline, speaking with the youth as a means of knowing where they are at so we can further develop the program to meet their needs.
