About JPM Family Success Center
As part of our mission to serve the Haitian community, JPM opened the first Family Success Center (FSC) in Union County in July 2007, in collaboration with the United Way of Greater Union County. The FSC is a new approach from the State to prevent the occurrence of child abuse/neglect by empowering families through educational and supportive services. There is no cost to access services provided by the FSC. Core services include:- Access to information on child, maternal and family health services, including linkage to publicly-funded health insurance programs and referrals to local health care services;
- Development of “Family Success” plans, which address strengths and challenges and goals to address challenges which threaten to undermine family stability;
- Economic self-sufficiency / employment related services/income security services;
- Information & Referral Services (connection to off-site public and private resources);
- Life Skills training (budgeting, nutrition, etc.);
- Housing related services;
- Parent education;
- Parent-child activities;
- Advocacy;
- Home visiting, consistent with the model of engagement approved by the Division of Prevention and Community Partnerships
