The Hispanic Family Center of Southern NJ (HFC) serves approximately 10,000 individuals each year with a cadre of bilingual health and social services programs provided by multicultural staff across multiple NJ counties. The Family Counseling Clinic offers members of the community access to therapeutic services and health education delivered by clinicians, therapists, and counselors who are specifically trained to work with individuals who have mental illness or substance use disorders, in addition to youth substance use prevention services, pediatric asthma interventions and risk-reduction case management, and health navigation. The Family Resource Center unit offers a robust array of services designed to empower individuals and promote and encourage self-sufficiency. This is achieved through a variety of services including: comprehensive counseling and supportive services for survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual assault; workforce-development services including: English as Second Language/Civics; job placement and training programs; a CARE program that provides education to the most vulnerable workers (i.e. low-income, immigrant, refugee, veteran, and youth workers) to increase awareness of and equitable access to the rights and benefits they are entitled to employees of NJ businesses; and Women in IT, a specialized certificate program that prepares survivors of domestic and sexual violence to achieve an industry recognized credential in the Information Technology field in an effort to create opportunities for life-long careers that help build a pathway to earning higher wages, job stability and empowerment; heating/cooling energy assistance; and family-focused services within two Family Success Centers that are embedded in the community to serve as a welcoming, home-like setting that reflects its community, engages its residents and offers direct services, activities and resources that promote family well-being and empowerment.
