Recovery is Possible
Long Branch H.E.A.R.S. is dedicated to establishing Long Branch as a recovery friendly community through Health, Education Addiction and Recovery Support. We promote awareness and advocacy at the local level while creating partnerships, collaborating and building bridges between our county providers and programs. Our ultimate vision is a supportive, stigma free, prevention and recovery community.
Addiction affects everyone - your family, your neighbors, your co-workers, your friend... Maybe even YOU. We can help provide you with the resources to turn lives around.

Our Initiatives
2020 Don't Give Up
Initially, Don’t give Up was an idea for a project, displaying signs saying Don’t Give Up all around the city, illustrating that someone somewhere cares about what happens to you.
2019 Stop the Stigma
Isn’t it Time to recognize that our community members who suffer from substance use have an increased chance of recovery if they are better understood!
