This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. 💙

All month we've been raising our voices for mental health awareness. This week, we go a little deeper.

Mental health awareness is important. But awareness without access isn't enough.

This week at PBHG, we're spotlighting the real barriers people face when trying to get mental health support — and the real pathways through them:

🔹 Not sure where to start? Our intake team walks you through every step.
🔹 Worried about cost? We serve patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
🔹 Can't make it in person? Telehealth is available across our programs.
🔹 Concerned about stigma? You will be met with compassion — no judgment, ever.

The conversation matters. But so does the door being open. Ours always is. 🤍

Happy Mother's Day to every mom in our community. 💐

To the moms who are thriving — we celebrate you.
To the moms who are struggling — we see you.
To the moms who are somewhere in between — we're here for all of it.

Motherhood is one of life's greatest gifts — and one of its most demanding journeys. The emotional weight of caring for others while taking care of yourself is real, and it deserves real support.

This May — Maternal Mental Health Month and Mental Health Awareness Month — we want every mother to know: asking for help is not weakness. It's love. 🤍

PBHG provides outpatient mental health services for adults across Ocean and Monmouth Counties, NJ. Telehealth available.

1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences a mental illness each year. 📊

That's over 50 million people. And the majority of them never receive treatment.

The barriers are real: stigma, cost, access, not knowing where to start.

At PBHG, we work to remove every one of those barriers — through accessible outpatient therapy, psychiatric services, substance use treatment, and community support across Ocean and Monmouth Counties, NJ. Regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

This Mental Health Awareness Month — and every month — we're here. 💙

If someone has suggested that your child might benefit from psychiatric medication — and your first reaction was hesitation — you are not alone. 🤍

That hesitation doesn't make you a bad parent. It makes you a thoughtful one.

Our latest blog post, 'From Hesitation to Hope: Understanding Medication Management for Your Child,' addresses the most common fears parents carry — and answers them with clinical clarity and compassion.

In it, you'll find:
✅ Why parents hesitate — and why that's completely valid
✅ What the medication management process actually looks like at PBHG
✅ How medication and IEP/504 support work together
✅ What to expect from our child and adolescent psychiatry team

Written in partnership with Dr. Adam Sagot, D.O., FAPA — PBHG's Chief Medical Officer and Board-Certified Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💙 And this year, the theme says it all:

More Good Days, Together.

At PBHG, we believe a good day looks different for everyone. For some, it's making it to therapy. For others, it's getting out of bed. For some, it's finding the words to ask for help.

All of it counts. All of it matters.

This May, we're showing up for our community with resources, stories, and support; because no one should navigate mental health alone.

Follow along all month. 💙

🌟 20 Years of Impact: Celebrating Larry O’Brien 🌟
Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a major milestone: Larry O’Brien, MSW, LSW, LCADC, is marking 20 years of service with Preferred Behavioral Health Group! 🎊

As our Director of Substance Use Services and Director of the Child Protection Substance Abuse Initiative (CPSAI), Larry is a cornerstone of our organization. Managing a team of over 78 employees, he ensures that life-saving, trauma-informed care reaches the families in our community who need it most.

Two Decades of Dedicated Leadership:
Clinical Expertise: From his time as a Drug Court Liaison to his seat on the Monmouth County Professional Advisory Committee, Larry is a true expert in co-occurring disorders and prevention.

The "PBHG Family" Mentality: Larry thrives in our collaborative environment. As he puts it: "PBHG has a family environment that allows you to feel comfortable and grow."

A Heart for Helping: Larry’s journey began with a simple desire to understand how people cope with challenges. Over 20 years, he has proven that compassionate, skilled support can change the trajectory of a person’s life.

Larry’s Philosophy for Success: > "Always take care of yourself, because you cannot be effective in helping others if your own well-being is neglected. Prioritize the things that bring you joy in life."
Larry, thank you for your unwavering dedication, your "out-of-the-box" solutions, and your commitment to the families of New Jersey. Our community is stronger because of you! 💙

Please join us in the comments to congratulate Larry on 20 amazing years! 👇
