The Mission of the Camden County Family Support Organization (CCFSO) is to assist caregivers and families of children who have developmental, social, emotional, educational, behavioral, medical or mental health issues as well as those living with substance use or involved in juvenile justice navigate the many systems they will encounter through the child’s life. We will ensure the family voice is heard in all planning, coordination, and delivery of services. As parents who are experiencing or have experienced these issues with our own children, we work with families to provide direct empathetic peer support, education and promote self-advocacy.
