Toms River
The Family Crisis Intervention Unit is a county funded program within Bright Harbor Healthcare, offering free counseling and case management services to Ocean County residents. The Family Crisis Unit (FCIU) offers support to Ocean County youth, ages 10-17, and their families who are experiencing significant challenges. Our aim is to intervene in family conflicts at an early stage, preventing the need for formal or future legal involvement. Our primary goals are to enhance family well-being and strengthen youth community bonds. The FCIU team evaluates the immediate family needs necessary to restore stability in crisis situations. We provide short-term, supportive care management, family counseling and, depending on the identified concerns, connect youth and families to appropriate community resources for on-going support. Additionally, our services extend to Station House Adjustments, S.U.R.E, assisting with truancy concerns in partnership with local schools, and providing community education sessions on current issues.
