Welcome Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Residents and Stakeholders,

I’m writing to share the impactful journey of the Paterson Healing Collective. Since our establishment in 2020 we have become a beacon of hope amidst the challenges of violence in our community.

Our mission is clear: to provide compassionate support and holistic care to those affected by violence, fostering healing and resilience. We’re committed to breaking the cycle of violence and promoting peace and unity.

Through our intervention workers, we mentor youth and families, guiding them towards healing and realizing their dreams. Our community-based violence intervention efforts focus on restoring peace and offering support services to every individual in need.

The Paterson Healing Collective is more than an organization; it’s a lifeline, offering hope and healing. With every intervention, we move closer to a future characterized by peace and empathy.

Thank you for your continued support as we journey towards a brighter tomorrow for our region.

Warm regards,


Dr. Liza Chowdhury
Executive Director
