Dear Ocean Township,
Fear
and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong
emotions in adults and children. Parents and caregivers of seniors may
have questions as to how to respond
to their loved one. Neighbors may be worried about residents who are on
their own. Concerns for the future in regard to HSD programs may arise.
Others may want to offer support and not know how to contact those in
need. Although our municipal buildings have
been closed to the public as of 3/16, the Department of Human Services
staff is available via telephone, 732-531-2600, Monday-Friday, 8:30am –
4:30 p.m. to respond to your questions and concerns. If
you or someone you care about is struggling emotionally, our counselors
are available to talk on the phone and discuss resources available.
Please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know how we may help. Together,
we will cope with this stress, support our community, and be stronger for it.
