Our Mission
To support, ease, and improve the lives of those working to protect the lives of children and families in New Jersey.
What we do
DCP&P staff members are routinely exposed to extraordinarily highly stressful situations in which the welfare of children and families are at stake. We are here to provide confidential peer support to help you cope with your stress, feel understood, and improve the quality of your life and your work with the following free services:
- Peer Support Counseling
- Clinical assessments with a licensed professional
- Referrals to local resources for additional treatment and support
- Face to face resilience-building events
- Crisis intervention support
Who we are
We are caring, qualified, former DYFS and DCP&P staff members and trained peer counselors who understand the stresses of your current experiences because we’ve been there. We operate completely independently of the NJ DCP&P so nothing you share with us will ever be shared with your employers or negatively impact your job in any way.
- We are the only child protection peer support program in the US
- We’ve had more than 51,900 contacts supporting NJ DCPP workers since our inception
How we help
Our peer-support counselors and clinicians understand, listen and help you find relief. Call us if you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, withdrawn, suicidal, or emotionally or physically exhausted, or if you just need to connect with someone who will listen and who understands.
- Our goal is to restore overall wellness.
- We provide supports that help reestablish balance to all dimensions of a person’s life
What can you talk to us about?
Anything that’s on your mind.
The topics that we hear about most often:
- PTSD
- Anxiety and Phobias
- Depression
- Family and Parenting Issues
- Loss
- Legal Issues
- Marriage and Relationship Issues
- Coping with aggression or violence
- Medical concerns
- Financial difficulties
