I want to share with you one of the best things that our NJ Department of Children and Families provides. Family Success Centers are “one-stop” shops that provide resources and supports for families before they find themselves in crisis. They offer primary child abuse prevention services to families and bring together concerned community residents, leaders, and community agencies to address the problems that threaten the safety and stability of families and the community.
Family Success Centers offer a warm and welcoming home-like environment that provides family friendly activities and resources within communities to strengthen families. There is no cost to access the services they provide.
Program Services include:
· Access to information on child, maternal and family health services, economic self-sufficiency and job readiness
· Information and referral services (connection to off-site public social services and private resources)
· Life skills training
· Housing services
· Parent education
· Parent-child activities
· Advocacy
There are 57 Family Success Centers in New Jersey. To locate a program near you, please visit: https://www.nj.gov/dcf/families/support/success/ and share broadly with your community.
Thank you,
Rick
