The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey is a nonprofit child and family serving agency whose mission is to save children’s lives and build healthy families.
http://chsofnj.org The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey was founded in 1894 with the mission of finding loving families for children, protecting children from harm, and helping parents find better ways to be parents so they can keep their children. These three facets of our mission remain core to us today. Today, we believe we are saving children’s lives and building healthy families. CHS of
NJ continues to offer its original services of adoption assistance and foster care in nurturing, loving homes. Over the years, our services have expanded to respond to the needs of children in our communities, but our mission has remained the same. Our 45 programs include Early Childhood & Parenting Education, School-based Programs, Clinical & Mental Health, Maternal and Child Health Issues, Kinship Services, Community & Neighborhood Based Services and others that target protection and care of children. It is our vision that all children have secure, caring families, enjoy good health, and develop to function well cognitively, emotionally and behaviorally.

If you receive SNAP benefits, please note these upcoming changes!
Starting in March 2023, SNAP households will no longer receive the temporary, extra benefits offered to offset COVID-19 hardships in March 2020 and will return to their regular SNAP benefit amounts.
Governor Murphy signed legislation making New Jersey the first state to create a SNAP minimum monthly benefit of $50. This law supplements the federal minimum of $23. The new minimum benefit will go into effect in March, meaning no SNAP recipient will receive less than $50 per month in assistance.
All SNAP recipients will also receive a letter in the mail in February notifying them of these changes and their new benefit amount.
SNAP enrollees can check their regular benefit amount at any time by:
logging into the ConnectEBT mobile app
visiting the website portal at www.njfamiliesfirst.com
calling 1-800-997-3333 (the number on the back of their EBT Families First card)
~
A partir de marzo de 2023, los hogares de SNAP ya no recibirán los beneficios adicionales que se ofrecian temporeramente para compensar las dificultades a causa de la pandemia de COVID-19, la cual comenzo en marzo de 2020 y por lo tanto volverán a los montos de beneficios de SNAP regulares.
El gobernador Murphy firmó una legislación que convierte a Nueva Jersey en el primer estado en crear un beneficio mensual mínimo de SNAP de $50. Esta ley complementa el mínimo federal de $23. El nuevo beneficio mínimo entrará en vigencia en marzo, lo que significa que los beneficiarios de SNAP recibirán al menos $50 por mes en asistencia.
Todos los beneficiarios de SNAP también recibirán una carta por correo en febrero notificándoles estos cambios y el nuevo monto de su beneficio.
Los afiliados a SNAP pueden verificar el monto de su beneficio regular en cualquier momento:
iniciando una sesión en la aplicación móvil ConnectEBT
visitando el portal del sitio web en www.njfamiliesfirst.com
llamando al 1-800-997-3333 (el número que figura en el reverso de su tarjeta EBT Families First)

Our TEDI kids are interested in the performing arts so when an opportunity arose from a generous offer extended by the McCarter Theatre in Princeton to attend a dress rehearsal of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, they (as well as their Artistic Director Kayla James) literally jumped at the chance!

We train local folks to offer emotional, physical and informational support to expectant parents and their families during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Community doulas provide information about childbirth and breastfeeding, with no less than four prenatal visits, and four visits during the postpartum period. Community doulas provide their services in both English and Spanish, and connect families to bilingual community resources.

During our conversations I always encourage mom to take the time to play with Alaniz and I also praise mom for her efforts. Mom learned how to create a daily routine and a fun environment of learning where Alaniz have fun, learn and feel free to be herself.

Hello everyone,
My colleague Kim Hager and I are interested in studying the experiences and barriers to accessing mental health services for families. For the purpose of our research, we intend to compare three groups – caregivers of children with one or more mental health conditions (including developmental disorders), caregivers of children with mental health conditions and common medical conditions, and caregivers of children with mental health conditions and rare diseases. Caregivers include biological parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, step-parents, guardians and kinship homes with children under the age of 18. The survey is nationwide and open to families who live anywhere within the United States. The hope is the survey results will assist mental health providers in tailoring services to meet families’ needs. The study was approved by the IRB and survey is anonymous. Please help us by filling out the survey and/or sharing it.
