NEWARK, NJ — Prince Street in Newark is now home to New Jersey's first youth-focused trauma recovery center for local children in need of mental health and support services. The new center is aimed to provide what its founder Al-Tariq Best calls a “safe space” for youth to openly discuss trauma they may have experienced through violence and are suffering its lasting consequences. "It’s about letting [youth] know there’s a place that you can go," Best told TAPinto Newark.

The ruling comes after a group of community activists, Ironbound Community Corporation, filed an appeal in March on the stay of Aries’ application.
