North Jersey Community Research Initiative - Non-profit organization in Newark - 393 Central Ave, USA

Tried to set up a psychiatry appointment with NJCRI after moving to NJ, so I wouldn’t run out of important psychiatric medication, they set up an appointment and then ghosted me. Have left several voicemails but have heard nothing from them and have been going through medication withdrawal for days now. Would not recommend. UPDATE: They called again a few days after this review was written, as if nothing had ever happened. They seemed completely ignorant and uncaring to the fact that by this point I had nearly reached the end of med withdrawal. They set up another intake appointment over the phone and that did actually happen this time. But then the next appointment (the one with the actual psychiatrist) was another ghost. I’ve fully come off of the medication now and NJ CRI is at fault for this. If you care about your mental health at all, please don’t go here. If I find a good place for mental health services that takes Medicaid, I’ll update this review with it.

This place goes above and beyond for the community... They gave me a hand up not a handout.. and I ran with it . The love in that central ave build is unreal... If you or anyone you know needs resource's of any kind.. visit NJCRI.

Extremely kind and receptive doctors and staff. An unimaginable number of services. Gay friendly. Genuinely seeking to help. If you have an illness for which there's no present cure, they even offer the option of getting into clinical trials. Financially flexible. It's been a great blessing for me to have found this place.

This place is a diamond in the rough for homeless people who need simple but uncommon "homely services" they provide meals free of charge, showers, laundry, syringe access, and use of computer. And I'm probably unaware of a few other services theyb offer but I know they have a doctor onsite who will see you even if you don't have Medicaid but any follow up appointments will require medicaid.. the place is very useful for anyone homeless and struggling!!

These people are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING,!🥰🥰🥰 Everytime I have been there { for different reasons }, I was always treated with nothing but friendly & very helpful staff. And if for some reason, they CAN'T help you. You can be pointed in the right direction! I lost my husband, Luis ,THEE ❤️ & Soul of my life last year 😭, and unfortunately, have no $, struggling, fighting for my S.S 😡 explained my situation and I got a free Newark I.D Card, until I my California B.C arrives, THEN They'll give me a letter for a no-cost MVD State I.D 🤯 God Bless the Entire Staff @ N.J.C.R.I ❤️❤️❤️ " TWO SNAPS IN A CIRCLE " ❤️❤️❤️

This is a great community resource. It does everything health related you can think of for the north jersey community. Currently vaccinations are their focus. The staff is a caring and friendly group of professionals. You are in good hands if you avail yourself of their services and good person if you support their work.

Great for everything from taking a shower to eating breakfast or lunch. Also there are a few addiction programs that actually help because they care!

These people are the most caring, generous, kind and genuine people I've come across in a very long time. They've restored my faith in humanity.
