 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.
