Foundations Behavioral Health

A big thank you to Hackensack Meridian Health Medical Group Pediatrics in Forked River, NJ, for welcoming Foundations Behavioral Health to spend time with your team over lunch. We truly appreciated the opportunity to connect, share information about the behavioral health services we provide and strengthen partnerships with the providers who care for children, adolescents and families throughout our community. Collaboration like this helps ensure individuals receive the support and resources they need when they need them most.

Thank you for your hospitality and for allowing us to be part of your day. We look forward to continuing to work together to support the mental health and well-being of those we serve.

Foundations Behavioral Health was proud to sponsor the Mental Health America of Lancaster County Su***de Awareness & Prevention Conference. We were honored to join nearly 250 clinicians, mental health professionals and community advocates who came together to learn, connect and strengthen our shared commitment to su***de prevention and mental health awareness.

Events like these highlight the power of collaboration, education and open dialogue in creating healthier communities. By working together, sharing resources and expanding our understanding, we can help ensure that more individuals feel supported, seen and valued.

Thank you to everyone who participated and continues to make a difference in the lives of those affected by mental health challenges.

We were privileged to welcome Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick to Foundations Behavioral Health for a meaningful and engaging visit. Having visited us previously, Congressman Fitzpatrick picked up right where those earlier conversations left off, demonstrating his continued interest in the behavioral healthcare challenges and opportunities facing our communities.

During his visit, he spent time learning more about our programs, discussing key issues impacting healthcare and exploring ways to support positive change across the healthcare landscape. We appreciate the opportunity to share our mission and the important work being done every day to support the individuals and families we serve. Thank you, Congressman Fitzpatrick, for taking the time to visit and engage in these important conversations. We look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together to advance access to quality behavioral healthcare.
