In an effort to assist young men who live in Ocean County, the Saint Barnabas Behavioral Health Network’s Institute for Prevention has introduced “Project MORE”.
This gender-responsive program is designed to address the many challenges facing 18-21year old men who are at the crossroads of adolescence and adulthood. Through an integrated referral and resource network of professionals, they are offered a broad range of gender-specific, culturally sensitive services to meet their personal, social and behavioral health needs. These men are given an opportunity to build upon their strengths in an environment that fosters healthy attitudes and lifestyles.
 This innovative program provides support and services to young men who have encountered issues that relate to:
- Educational / Vocational
- Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual
- Employment
- Family
- Legal
- Medical and Dental
- Mental Health
- Relationships
- Substance Abuse
Specializing in Gender-Specific Services acknowledges there are numerous psychological, social and developmental differences between young males and females who are at-risk. That’s why our team of professionals specializes in providing services that focus on individualized counseling and support, health education that takes a holistic approach to wellness and life-skills training.
Funded by the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Addiction Services/Office of Prevention and Training, “Project MORE” is a collaborative effort lead by the Institute for Prevention with support from other community based providers.
Other collaborating providers include:
- Family Court of Ocean County
- Juvenile Justice Commission Of New Jersey Ocean County Division of Youth and Family Services
