IFSS
(Intensive Family Support Services) provides a range of supportive
activities designed to improve the quality of life of families with
a mentally ill relative. Family members and professionals
work collaboratively to provide each family with the knowledge,
skills, supports they identify as useful to the family's overall
functioning and sense of control. Families can choose from
an array of services that are most relevant to their circumstances
and may change over time. The state of New Jersey funds an IFSS
program in every county. Services are available to any family,
free of charge and regardless of whether or not the ill family member
is receiving mental health services.

In
June 2006, the new New Jersey State Family Support Plan for
the Families of Persons with a Serious Mental Illness
was adopted. This plan, called for by state law, establishes
goals and set priorities for the provision of family support
services in order to strengthen and promote families that
provide care for a family member with a serious mental illness.
