PROJECT SELF SUFFICIENCY
Project Self-Sufficiency provides services for all types of families in the New Jersey counties of Sussex, Warren and Hunterdon. Most services are free and many are open to the public.

FAMILY PARTNERS OF MORRIS AND SUSSEX COUNTIES

Our mission is to facilitate empowerment of parents and caregivers of children with emotional, behavioral, developmental, and mental health challenges through a community-based, family-centered, culturally competent system of support, education and advocacy.
