A TRADITION OF COMMUNITY CARING Since 1959, Bright Harbor Healthcare - previously 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 four 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. The community has always been great supporters of Bright Harbor Healthcare. Because of the community fundraisers that built and sustained Bright Harbor Healthcare in the early years, the donations and gifts that are given to our agency and the people we serve, generous grants and continued support of the private sector, local and state government, and the volunteers that make what we do possible, Bright Harbor Healthcare has been able to continue to grow and change as our community needs have changed.

Ocean Academy

Ocean Academy is a small therapeutic school that offers educational services to students that need a more structured, nurturing environment to reach their academic and social goals. We work to successfully transition students back to districts or to successfully complete graduation requirements. As part of Bright Harbor Healthcare, we work collaboratively with students, their families and school districts to provide support and services. Ocean Academy’s cornerstone is its therapeutic component, which offers the student and their family psychiatric and therapeutic services and support from our clinical team. We develop and implement an individual treatment plan to improve academic functioning while working on any underlying concerns that maybe impacting school performance. The goal is to help each student achieve his/her full positive potential, which is facilitated by a “hands on” intensive, structured, positive approach. Educationally, Ocean Academy works closely with the sending districts to plan and implement the students plan with “highly qualified” teachers and staff that are committed and trained to work with students that require individual needs. They provide for a variety of educational experiences to give every student a chance for success. All students are selected for admission based upon a review of records, meeting with the sending school district, parents, family members and most importantly an interview of the student. The selection process is rigorous to ensure that students, families and sending districts agree that Ocean Academy offers the student the best opportunity to be successful based upon their current needs.
