Intensive Family Support Services
currently runs several support groups
which offer an opportunity for families
coping with a loved one’s mental illness
to meet together with a professional for
mutual support and the sharing of
resources. While the support groups are
open to everyone, at this time, many of
the group members are parents of those
with mental illness.
In an
effort to reach out to the needs of other
family members, IFSS is developing
time-limited groups for siblings of ill
family members and adult children of parents
with mental illness. If you are interested
in participating in a sibling or adult
children group, please contact Stephanie
Baron, LSW at (973) 509-9777 ext. 198 or
Sbaron@mhaessex.org, identifying which
group you are interested in as well as
contact information (address, phone number,
e-mail).
