NAMI NEW JERSEY: INTENSIVE FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES (IFSS)

The Intensive Family Support Services (IFSS) Program is a range of supportive activities designed to improve the quality of life for families with a mentally ill relative. Family members and professionals work collaboratively to provide each family with the knowledge, skills and supports they identify as useful to the family's overall functioning and sense of control. Families 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. To find IFSS near you call 1-866-NAMI-IFSS (626-4437).
