The Challenge
Families in Crisis
Many life circumstances can throw a family into chaos and render the parents unable to provide the physical or emotional nurturing their children need. When situations like a medical crisis, divorce, or mental illness overturn a family, the impact on every member can spiral out of control and change their lives forever.
​
​
The Mission
What if that spiral could be interrupted? Bridges offers respite and host homes so that children can continue to receive the nurturing they need despite the crisis. Simultaneously, Bridges’ comprehensive case management helps the family to restore stability to the home so that the children may return to a happier, healthier life.
​
We’re proud that here, at Bridge , we are licensed to provide IIC services in the state of NJ.
​
IIC stands for Intensive In-Community, a service component of the Children’s System of Care (CSOC) in New Jersey. IIC services are short-term, community-based therapeutic interventions that help youth and their families with moderate and complex needs. These services support stabilization, skill and community connection. The interventions focus on engagement of the youth and the family, psycho-education and skill building toward prioritized goals so the youth and family can gain insight and ultimately feel and function better.
Our trained clinicians look forward to helping families who qualify for these services.
