Assn. of Student Assistance Professionals of N.J. (ASAP-NJ)

School Wellness Center – There is no better place to provide health care to children without health insurance than a public school. The K Hovanian Children's Wellness Center, located in the Neptune Midtown Community Elementary School, is an inter-local collaboration between Neptune Township, Neptune City, Bradley Beach and Jersey Shore University Medical Center. The free program focuses on well visits, new entrant physicals, sick visits, sport physicals and an asthma control program.

ASAP-NJ is an organization of individuals employed in schools, agencies or school-based programs whose functions include advocating and developing a school-based student assistance/substance awareness program. The group meets the needs of youth in the education, prevention, intervention, and referral services for high-risk behaviors, including substance abuse and violence issues. A major portion of ASAP-NJ’s work in schools involves mental health issues–emotional, psychological support services, crisis intervention and referrals to mental health facilities.

Members can attend a state conference, county monthly meetings and workshops. ASAP-NJ provides specialized training on student assistance programs, a newsletter and access to legal counsel.
