Bright Harbor Healthcare

Bright Harbor Healthcare On October 18th, 2021 Ocean Mental Health Services became Bright Harbor Healthcare (BHH).

For over six decades, Bright Harbor Healthcare has delivered truly integrated care to individuals, families, and our community by meeting the needs of the whole person’s physical health, mental wellness, and substance use recovery. What began in 1959 as a single office with two dedicated counselors has grown exponentially. Today, we are comprised of more than 425 passionate professionals at 10 locations throughout Ocean County and 1 in Monmouth County. “Building a better tomorrow, one life at a time” remains the backbone of our mission. However, the services we provide have continually evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of our community. We became Bright Harbor Healthcare because our current services include so much more than the organization’s original name implied. Our focus going forward is on integrated care and treating the whole person in a way that is tailored, and compassionate, and brings about overall improvement in the quality of consumers’ daily living. In 2018 we were one of the first mental health centers in the country to be recognized by SAMHSA as a Certified Community Behavioral Healthcare Center, capable of providing “Integrated Care”. That is, not just treating an individual’s mental health issue, but the whole person to provide overall physical health as well as mental wellness and addiction recovery. In addition to our core mental health, behavioral, and addiction services, BHH also provides primary care and an on-site pharmacy.

What’s one small thing you’re grateful for today?

Beautiful things can happen when community partners work together ❤️ In collaboration with Donovan Catholic High School, Troopers United Foundation Inc., Wakefern Food Corp. and New Jersey State Police, The Nook was chosen as a proud recipient of 5 palettes of donations. The Nook Coordinator is a Griffin, and can't thank Vice Principal Gleinig, Tpr Stallworth and Tpr Cruz enough for facilitating this incredible gift - as well as our fellow Griffins 🦅 for contributing so generously to the supply drive 🙂 And as always, tremendous thanks to our volunteers without whom these items would not have been processed.

💙 Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! 💙

Kindness may seem small… but its impact is powerful.

Research shows that giving kindness actually benefits both people — the one receiving it and the one giving it. A simple act can:
• reduce stress
• boost mood
• strengthen connection
• improve overall mental wellbeing

Today, challenge yourself to do one intentional kind thing — hold a door, send a supportive text, compliment someone, or check in on a friend.

You never know what someone is carrying… but kindness lightens the load.

At Bright Harbor Healthcare, we believe caring for our community starts with caring for each other — every single day.

✨ What’s one kind thing you’ll do today?

Building Better Tomorrows, One Life at at Time

Since 1959, Ocean Mental Health Services has been providing counseling to the residents of Ocean County. What was once a single office and two counselors has grown to an agency of over 300 staff, with two outpatient offices, a school, several partial day program locations and many outreach and community programs. Since our first expansion in 1961, into our office site on Lien Street, our growth has always been in response to the needs of the community. Our current programs are available to adults, children, and families. We provide counseling, foster care, group homes, partial day services, a private school for children with emotional and behavioral challenges and more. We work with family members to create an atmosphere of support and understanding. And above all we help each individual to live the life they envision for themselves. MISSION The Ocean Mental Health Services mission is to offer a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health, substance abuse, and integrated healthcare services, which promotes full participation in community life. VISION Our vision is that the community we serve understands the coordination of behavioral healthcare, substance abuse recovery, and physical healthcare is essential to overall health, and that our quality, consumer-driven services will assist them in achieving wellness and recovery.
