Intensive Support Services to
Families (ISSF)
The Intensive Support Services to Families Program was created and designed
as a source for educating and assisting families with a mentally ill member.
Using a family centered approach, the program has 3 core functions, each
of which offers services to families as needed for their unique situation.
-
A. Psycho-Educational Program This 6 to 8 week course will provide families
with mentally ill members basic facts about specific mental disorders and
how the illness is likely to affect the family.
-
Intensive In-home Services Incorporating a multi-faceted approach to provide
intensive in-home services, the social worker will utilize outreach, general
monitoring, counseling with family members, and case management/service
linkage/liaison services.
-
Respite Care: This service is a limited non-emergency planned time away
from the ill member living at home.
This program is available to families residing in Salem County regardless
of ability to pay or whether the ill member is involved with Healthcare
Commons, Inc.
