Did you know that NJ4S COMPASS - Monmouth, through Preferred Behavioral Health Group, now offers free prevention and mental wellness services to middle and high school students? Services take place right in the school, right where the student spends most of their time.

Developed by the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide (SPTS), this vital digital resource will support Monmouth County families and youth by providing parents with information on what to do, ask, and expect if their child is experiencing behavioral health concerns.

The Warm Line is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. Created as part of Monmouth County’s Department of Human Services, the Navigation System will serve as one point of entry for residents to be connected to any human service provider in the County, without needing to make multiple calls and needing to tell their story again and again.

Grants will fund education, skills training, supportive services, paid work experience.

MonmouthCares’ Executive Director, Marin Kirby De Leon, welcomes the new Board members expressing, “I am thrilled to be welcoming five amazing additions to our Board of Trustees at MonmouthCares. Each individual brings unique skills and talents; we are so fortunate to have their guidance and energy."

The latest income limit increase is part of a larger effort by the State to reach and enroll more people who are eligible for the PAAD and Senior Gold programs, and raise awareness that people can apply for these and other assistance programs using the NJSave application.
