Intensive Family Support Services (IFFS)

Intensive Family Support Services (IFSS)

Through collaboration with NAMI Mercer, Oaks Integrated Care (OIC) offers families and caregivers a regular support group and short-term individual counseling.

What is the Intensive Family Support Services Program?

Intensive Family Support Services, funded by the State of New Jersey, offers a range of supportive activities designed to improve the overall functioning and quality of life for families affected by mental illness. These support activities may include psycho-education groups, single family consultations, respite, family support groups, systems advocacy, referral/service linkage, and medication monitoring. Services may be delivered in the family’s home, at the agency, or at other sites in the community.

With IFSS intervention, families learn to:

  • Increase their self-determination and confidence
  • Gain a better understanding of diagnoses and treatment
  • Develop and implement concrete illness management plans
  • Enhance communication patterns and decrease stress and stimulation
  • Develop appropriate support systems
  • Reduce personal and social isolation
  • Access available services and resources
  • Advance the rights and protections of people with mental illness.
