As an organization deeply rooted in Trenton, we recognize that events affecting our community can have an impact on all of us. The tragic shooting that occurred on Saturday August 29, 2026, resulted in the loss of two lives and injuries to eight others. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected.
Events like this can bring feelings of grief, fear, anxiety, and uncertainty—not only for those directly involved, but also for families, neighbors, and members of our broader Trenton community.
Henry J. Austin Health Center wants our patients and community to know that support is available.
Our Behavioral Health & Social Services team provides confidential, compassionate, culturally sensitive support for adults, children, and adolescents who have the need for behavior health care. Our behavioral health professionals work alongside our medical teams to support the whole person and can help individuals experiencing concerns related to sadness, worry, sleep, substance use, trauma, and other challenges that may affect their well-being.
Behavioral Health & Social Services are available at all Henry J. Austin Health Center locations and through telemedicine. Patients and community members seeking assistance can call 609-278-5900 to contact our team and learn more about available services.
During difficult times, we encourage our community to care for themselves and one another. As Trenton grieves and begins to heal, Henry J. Austin Health Center remains committed to providing trauma-informed, holistic care working with our community partners to support the health and well-being of all residents.
The very best,
Charles L. Davis, II
Chief Executive Officer
