ISS Individual Supports Services for Youth with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities

 

Caring For Families Social Services has partnered with the New Jersey Children's System of Care (CSOC) as a Contracted System Administrator (CSA) to provide Individual Support Services for your child. We are committed to helping children with behavioral, mental health, or emotional challenges gain access to the services they need. 

The New Jersey Children's System of Care (CSOC) is a division of the Department of Children and Families that provides an array of integrated and trauma-informed supports and services to youth with behavioral health challenges, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and/or substance use needs.

​

Individual Support Services (ISS) are provided in the youth’s home and/or in community-based settings.
