Raising awareness for mental health has always been at the forefront of our efforts, but now especially, it is important to provide our community with information and resources on mental health, as the COVID-19 pandemic has brought on new stresses and anxieties. For many, these are new feelings they may have never had, and it is important for us to provide ways to receive help and make good choices when coping with these stresses.
Monmouth Medical Center Foundation has put together a series of videos on mental health and wellness. Please look for the entire in-depth series which will be available in the first quarter of 2021. This video features our MMC mental health experts, sharing information with our community on resources for mental health, and answering questions those may have going during the holiday season.
Our mission:
- Raise funds and spread awareness for mental health wellness at Monmouth Medical Center
- Support Behavioral Health at Monmouth Medical Center. The Fireflies Council is proud to support the largest and most comprehensive behavioral health program in Monmouth County.

The Fireflies Behavioral Health Garden
Join The Fireflies Council for Behavioral Health to help revive the outdoor space that is currently being used by Behavioral Health for patients to go outside for fresh air. The goal is to make this space more tranquil, family-friendly and a true “breath of fresh air” from their days spent inside the hospital.
The Fireflies Wall of Inspiration
Join the Fireflies Council for Behavioral Health to help build the “Wall of Inspiration.” The Wall will be located in the Behavioral Health Lobby and will feature words of hope and quotes of wisdom. The Wall will inspire patients and families and help them through this difficult time in their life.
