At Ocean Mental Health Services we understand the importance of the role of caregiver, and the stress and worry that often accompanies that role. Issues such as isolation, frustration, lack of knowledge and understanding, insecurity and anxiety can all affect the care you are providing. Intensive Family Support Services (IFSS) is a specialty program of Ocean Mental Health Services, which provides support and education to the caregiver of a person with mental illness. The IFSS program has over 20 years experience in providing these supports for caregivers.
For more information about IFSS please call our Access Center at 732-575-1111.
