Where It All Began
Project 99 was founded in 2004 with a simple idea: young people in New Jersey deserve access to mental health support that meets them where they are — not behind a desk in a clinical office, but in the homes, schools, and communities where real life happens.
What started as a small mentorship initiative has grown into a comprehensive behavioral health organization with over 145 team members serving families across nine counties. Along the way, we've supported more than 5,000 families on their journey toward greater wellbeing.
Today, we offer Intensive In-Community (IIC) therapy, Behavioral Assistance, and Mentoring services — all delivered by a diverse, passionate team that reflects the communities we serve.
Our Approach
Built on Five Pillars
Everything we do is rooted in a framework that prioritizes the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Open Conversation
Creating safe spaces for honest dialogue between families, clinicians, and community partners.
Education
Equipping families with the knowledge and tools to sustain positive change long after services end.
Accessibility
Delivering services in homes and communities, removing barriers to care.
Cultural Understanding
Matching families with clinicians who share their language, culture, and lived experience.
Trust
Building lasting relationships through consistency, transparency, and follow-through.
