Our Services
Circle of Care is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to assisting Passaic County youth (up to age 21) and their families. Our goal is to help families attain positive outcomes for their children in their own homes and communities.
Child & Family Centered
We are child and family centered, with strengths, needs and preferences of the child, family, and team guiding the services developed.
Accommodating
Circle of Care services are community based, individually tailored to children and their families, flexible, and outcome based.
Culturally Competent
Circle of Care endeavors to be culturally competent, with services that are responsive to the culture, race, and ethnicity of the families we serve and the communities in which they live.
We Serve Youth and Families Residing in Passaic County:
- Up to age 21
- With behavioral, emotional, developmental, substance use, and/or other challenges.
- Referred by PerformCare or one of our System Partners
(DCP&P, Mobile, Juvenile Justice, etc.) - At no cost to you
A Child-Family Team
A Child-Family Team (CFT) is a group of people composed of “natural” (relatives, friends, neighbors, etc.) and “formal” (teachers, therapists, other professionals, etc.) supports who are involved with the family and play an important role in the child’s life. This team will help “wrap” supports and services around your family.
The COC Care Manager will partner with the CFT members to develop an agreed-upon Individual Service Plan (ISP) where each CFT member plays a part in ensuring the plan is successful.
The ISP will address all areas of the child’s life, including family interactions, safety concerns, emotional/psychological supports, educational objectives, legal issues, and medical concerns.
The youth is a key member of the Team and contributes to the development of their ISP. All team members play an important role in ensuring the success of the ISP along with the youth and the family.
The Team will evolve over time as the family’s relationships, interests, and needs change.
Getting the Help you Need:
- Is your child demonstrating social, emotional, and/or behavioral issues that are impacting their education, i.e. not going to school, bullying, isolating?
- Is your child angry, aggressive, lashing out, yelling, or slamming doors?
- Has your child experienced a death, divorce, relocation, or traumatic event and is not adjusting well?
- Is your child living with a developmental disability that is difficult to manage?
- Has a friend, teacher or other trusted adult expressed concerns about your child?
- Is your child leaving at night, coming home with expensive items they cannot afford, or gone for a few days at a time?
- Is your child struggling with drug or alcohol addiction?
