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 loc

ations 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.

When tragedy and trauma impact a community, healing begins when we allow others to walk beside us❤️

🐶Today, 3 of BHH’s trained therapy dogs were out in the community doing exactly that — providing comfort, connection, and support to those who needed it most.
🦮Meet Bailey, Higgins, and Luka, who worked hard today in roles made possible through Ocean County Department of Human Services ARPA funding🐾And while Mack is currently resting on sick leave, he definitely wishes he could have joined his team today!❤️‍🩹

🐕‍🦺A special thank you to Sugar Paws Dog Training for helping train these incredible dogs and preparing them for this meaningful work in our community.

🤝We are deeply grateful for the partnerships and support that make programs like this possible and for everyone working each day to help our community heal.

In the middle of Children’s Mental Health Month, it’s a good time to pause and reflect: every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. A kind word, a listening ear, and safe spaces to express emotions can make a lasting difference. Let’s continue building a community where our children’s mental health is nurtured every day—not just this month. 💚

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we want to remind our community that mental health is just as important as physical health. 💚

Every conversation matters. Every act of support matters. And every person deserves access to care, compassion, and hope.

If you're struggling, you are not alone. If someone you know is struggling, checking in can make a difference.

Together we can break stigma, encourage healing, and build stronger communities one conversation at a time.
