Visit the CSPNJ Community Resource Library. The Community Resource Library provides the CSPNJ community access to resources from across New Jersey, as well as online resources that support the health and wellness of people using our services, as well as benefiting both peer and non-peer staff.

Over time the Library will expand to an up-to-date NJ-based county-by-county list of verified resources.
