The Fireflies Behavioral Health Garden
Join The Fireflies Council for Behavioral Health to help revive the outdoor space that is currently being used by Behavioral Health for patients to go outside for fresh air. The goal is to make this space more tranquil, family-friendly and a true “breath of fresh air” from their days spent inside the hospital.
The Fireflies Wall of Inspiration
Join the Fireflies Council for Behavioral Health to help build the “Wall of Inspiration.” The Wall will be located in the Early Intervention Support Services (EISS) building in Neptune and will feature words of hope and quotes of wisdom. The Wall will inspire patients and families and help them through this difficult time in their life.
