Provider directory features
The provider directory offers information on multiple service offerings available in the Children’s System of Care. The directory will feature the following provider groups:
- Children's Crisis Intervention Services (CCIS) is a network of regional, short-term psychiatric inpatient crisis intervention and treatment services units serving youth ages 5 to 17.
- CSOC Summer Camp Services are available to youth who are eligible for intellectual and developmental disability services through CSOC.
- Family Functional Therapy (FFT) is a treatment service for youth who are exhibiting severely impulsive and noncompliant behaviors, which appear to be consistent with an impulse control disorder or a disruptive behavioral disorder.
- Family Support Organizations (FSOs) are nonprofit, county-based organizations run by families of children with emotional and behavioral challenges. FSOs provide peer support, education, advocacy, and feedback to families.
- Family Support Services (FSS) are a coordinated system of supports, which are designed to maintain and enhance the quality of life of a young person with an intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD) and his or her family.
- Multisystemic therapy (MST) is an intensive family- and community-based treatment that addresses multiple aspects of serious antisocial behavior in adolescents.
- Outpatient Treatment is defined as clinical services that include individual, group, or family therapy and other counseling, as well as medication prescription administration and review provided in a non-residential setting. Please note that CSOC does not currently offer outpatient treatment services and that these listings are provided as a courtesy.
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is an intensive, nonresidential, therapeutic treatment program that may or may not be hospital-based. The program provides high-intensity clinical treatment services in a community-based setting on a level similar to the intensity of an inpatient treatment program.

The Children's System of Care works to provide support that allows a child to stay in the family home. However, if your child needs out-of-home (OOH) treatment for behavioral health or developmental disability needs, settings are available throughout New Jersey. Prior authorization is required for OOH services. Call PerformCare at 1-877-652-7624 for more information.
Certain OOH Intensities of Service (IOS) require authorization by the Specialized Residential Treatment Unit (SRTU) prior to admission. If a youth is assigned to an SRTU consultant, Care Management should verify if SRTU authorization is required.
Intensive residential treatment programs (IRTs) are exclusively referred through CCIS units only and may not be referred by Care Management.
For descriptions of OOH services, please review the Clinical Criteria.
