The New Jersey Children's System of Care (CSOC) is a division with the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF). The foundational philosophy of all System of Care partners is the Wraparound/Child Family Team. The Wraparound approach is used to provide voluntary services to youth ages 0-21 with mental, emotional, behavioral, developmental, intellectual, and substance abuse challenges and their families at no cost to the family regardless of income or insurance status.
There are four key partners of the Children's System of Care; these partner services are in each county throughout the State and include:
- Children's Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) - Care Plus NJ is the contracted provider of Children's Mobile Response and Stabilization Services in Bergen County
- Care Management Organization (CMO) - Bergen's Promise, Inc is Bergen County's CMO
- Family Support Organization (FSO) - Family Support Organization of Bergen County is Bergen's FSO
- Children's Interagency Coordinating Council (CIACC) of Bergen County Open meetings! Meetings are held on the 2nd Tues. of every month at 9:00 am in the 1st floor meeting room at 327 East Ridgewood Ave, Paramus.
Most fundamental to the Children's System of Care (CSOC) is its emphasis on the family or caregiver as playing a central role in the health and well being of children. CSOC involves families throughout the planning and any service delivery process in order to create a system that values and promotes the advice and recommendations of the family, a system that is friendly to families and one which provides them the tools and support needed to create successful life experiences for their children with emotional, behavioral, developmental, intellectual, and substance abuse needs.
CSOC partners are committed to providing these voluntary services at NO COST TO FAMILIES in a family driven, community-based environment that builds on the family's unique strengths, values, voice and resources.
- Adolescent and Young Adult Substance Use Treatment Services are also available through the NJ CSOC including withdrawal management, outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial care, short-term residential and long-term residential.
