Angelic Health Now Offering Mental Telehealth Counseling
Why We Give Virtual Webinar
Angelic Health is now offering confidential and professional telehealth counseling for those struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder and other mental health issues related to changing medical needs. Counseling is provided by licensed mental health counselors that have experience with patients managing life-altering diagnoses and those troubled with grief and loss. Many different insurance plans are accepted. Those that can benefit from this service include patients with a chronic condition; patients undergoing treatment for a serious illness such as cancer, cardiac conditions and other life-altering diagnoses; caregivers having difficulty coping with the illness of a loved one; caregivers exacerbated by having to care for a loved one; and caregivers that cannot get treatment because of their commitment to caring for their loved one.
The virtual webinar Why We Give: A Celebration of SJ Women Who Give will be held from 10 a.m. until noon on October 23. Why We Give is a gathering of South Jersey women’s organizations that have philanthropy and volunteerism at the heart of their mission. This is a partnership of diverse local groups that include Impact100 South Jersey, Moms Demand Action, the Jewish Community Foundation, the India Temple Association, Continental Societies SJ Chapter, Jewish Family & Children’s Services and Community Foundation of South Jersey.

Wilderness ‘Hacks’ Workshop at Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust Join Freddie Patane at Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust at 2 p.m. on October 18 for fun tips and demonstrations on how to make time outdoors safer and more enjoyable—part of their Walk in the Wild series. A wide range of topics will be covered including camping essentials, land navigation, budgeting for gear and emergency preparedness. The workshop is designed for beginners and will be held outside. Participants will even have an opportunity to make some tasty treats around the campfire. Patane has led workshops on subjects such as making rope from natural material, bow and arrow safety and bushcraft. He is a lifelong resident of South Jersey and works in media production. His enthusiasm for wilderness skills and primitive crafts has led him to train with world-class primitive archers, survival instructors and some of the United States’ top blacksmiths. He’s happiest when capturing photos with his vintage film cameras, working on backyard projects and celebrating his artistic mishaps with like-minded souls. Participants are asked to wear a face cover, practice social distancing and meet at the Willoughby House at the end of Pine Avenue, off Good Intent Road, in Blackwood Terrace. Carpooling is recommended. Cost: Free. Location: 340 Pine Ave., Deptford. For more information and to ask questions, call Joan Tracy at 856-340-3208.

Collective Philanthropy Powered By Women Keynoter Dr. Debra Mesch, of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and Women’s Philanthropy Institute at Indiana University, will talk about the powerful impact of women’s movements and ways women and men’s giving differ. Two panels, Why We Give and How We Give, will showcase a diverse mix of local women’s giving initiatives, sororities, social giving groups and foundations. “One way to bridge the diversity and inclusion gap is to understand the various ways communities of women are already working to strengthen South Jersey,” says Kyle Ruffin, chair of the event. “Unfortunately, these communities work in silos and don’t know the others exist. Why We Give is designed to introduce the groups and open doors to the kind of collaboration that yields greater impact.” Cost: $20; proceeds support the SJ COVID-19 Response Fund and the Project Sarah domestic violence program.
