The purpose of each Family Success Center is to strengthen families and neighborhoods by developing networks of family services that result in preventing child abuse and neglect. We strive to build connections within and between families and the community. New Jersey is among four leading states (Maryland, Georgia and California) across the nation that have made statewide investments in neighborhood centers dedicated to strengthening families.
