The Family Support Center is a clearinghouse of up-to-date information on national, state and local family support programs, services, and disabilities. The Center offers a 'One-Stop-Shopping' approach to individuals seeking information on disabilities and services by providing them with easy access to a comprehensive array of services.

The Family Support Center of New Jersey is pleased to announce the 2010 National Caregivers Conference. Our conference will concentrate on the critical importance of caregivers. This year, we are coordinating a conference that will direct caregivers towards information on easily accessible, cost effective supports to all populations, regardless of age or disability. Knowledge of available resources can help to alleviate the stress associated with caregiving, sustain families and marriages, improve caregivers’ health and well being, reduce the risk of abuse and neglect, and minimize or delay the need for more costly out-of-home placement. The conference will also serve as a networking session for caregivers to gain social supports and help them realize that they are not alone.
