Education Resources

Cape May County Public Health Community Resource Directory

The Cape May County Department of Health has been working with community members and organizations. We are promoting healthy programs and behaviors related to:
  • Issues related to housing
  • Linking the public to the appropriate agency or program for assistance
  • Persons needing assistance with tobacco, alcohol, and substance abuse
  • Persons with behavioral health concerns
  • The needs of older adults and children
Through the collaboration with Mobilization for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) workgroups, the Cape May County Public Health Community Resource Directory (PDF) has been created and is being distributed throughout Cape May County. The directory contains a comprehensive listing of organizations and programs available to Cape May County residents and visitors who are in need of assistance.

Community Health Improvement Plan

The Cape May County Department of Health, along with community partners and other health professionals completed the first 5 phases of the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process. The MAPP tool is used to help communities improve the health and quality of life through community-wide and community-driven strategic planning. MAPP allows the community to develop and implement a strategic plan for public health improvement. MAPP focuses on strengthening the whole local public health system rather than separate pieces bringing together diverse interests to collaboratively determine the most effective way to conduct public health activities. The result of this process was the Community Health Improvement Plan (PDF).
