Our Mission

To facilitate positive change so that children with emotional and behavioral challenges, along with their families, have the greatest opportunity to live, thrive, and develop in their communities. These youth may also have intellectual / developmental, substance use, and / or physical health challenges.

MonmouthCares is a non-profit Care Management Organization (CMO), in Monmouth County, NJ serving youth and families up to age 21. We are part of the NJ Children’s System of Care that helps youth/families with emotional, behavioral, substance use disorders, physical, developmental, and intellectual disabilities. Our Health and Wellness Team also helps our families to improve health care access and managing their medical challenges.

MonmouthCares' care management is funded through Medicaid and available to all youth and families that live in Monmouth County and meet the eligibility criteria of the New Jersey Children's System of Care.

MonmouthCares maintains the MonmouthResourceNet.org. This is a free, online database that we recruit community providers to put their information on and share with the Monmouth County community. On this page you will find 1000+ resources that are locally accessible for Monmouth County residents.

Ranging from theaters, libraries, doctors, art studios, therapists, food banks, and other resources, MonmouthCares maintains the MonmouthResourceNet as a tool for our community to access to find resources local to them.

MonmouthCares CARF® accreditation will occur on March 14-15, 2019.

We invited the surveyors to evaluate how well we meet international standards for quality. The survey will tell us what we are doing well and ways we might improve. As a result of this survey, we may earn or continue accreditation.

If you would like to talk with one of the survey team members or want to learn more about CARF International, please let one of our staff members know. You may also contact CARF International directly.
