Welcome !!!!

     
   This website was created by the partners of the Children's Inter-Agency  Coordinating Council of Camden County.  It was created as a tool for school personnel to aid parents and guardians  to  access the emotional and behavioral  services currently available for the children in Camden County.  

 Members of the Educational Partnership include: 

Representatives of the Camden County Children's System of Care  who are contracted by the State of NJ to coordinate and facilitate Childrens Mental Health services,

 Division of Childrens Permanancy and Protection (formerly DYFS) ,

Representatives of the Camden County School System

McKinney-Vento Homeless Prevention representatives

 all efforts are coordinated by CPAC (Community Planning & Advocacy Council).

Our objective is to assist Parents, Teachers, and  Counselors understand the current mental health services and how to access them. 


Our Children's System of Care is expanding at this time, and much of this website's content may change over the next few months.  We will strive to keep this up to date to make it relevant and an important tool in your work, educating the Children of Camden County.
