Investors Bank Foundation receives grant

Investors Bank Foundation recently awarded a two-year grant in the amount of $15,000 to the Mental Health Association of Monmouth County (MHA) in support of its Red Bank Resource Network (RBRN) and Sandy Wellness Program. This funding will help MHA continue to provide local residents and Hurricane Sandy impacted families and individuals with free mental health counseling and expert information and referral services.

RBRN, a community walk-in center, is unique in that both licensed mental health counselors and expert Information and Referral Specialists are providing services in one location. RBRN is a community organization seeking to strengthen families and communities by offering bilingual assistance with applications, such as the Affordable Care Act, NJ Family Care/Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), housing, utility and employment. RBRN staff provides links with social services and job search assistance, as well as hosting a business center with computers, fax and internet for use at no cost.

RBRN and the Sandy Wellness Counseling are programs of the Mental Health Association of Monmouth County. For more information about RBRN, please call 732-383-5135 or visit www.rbrnhelps.com. To make an appointment with a Sandy Wellness Counselor, please call 732-542-6422.
