Our Mission
The mission of the YSAC Education Partnership is to develop, promote, and enhance collaborative efforts between the schools, the system partners in the child behavioral health system of care, the Division of Youth and Family Services, and other interested parties to improve the well being of children in Morris County, keeping them at home, in school, and out of trouble.
Our History As a result of the Child Welfare Reform that took place across New Jersey, the Division of Youth and Family
Services (DYFS) underwent major transformation and the Division of Child Behavioral Health Services was
established under the Department of Children and Families to provide a system of children's behavioral health
care service. Since that time, the child behavioral health system of care has changed and grown in an effort to
better serve the behavioral health needs of the children and families in New Jersey. However, the system of
care remains difficult to navigate for families and professionals alike.
Our Goal
Through this Partnership, professionals from each of the three systems are provided up-to-date, ongoing
training and education on the services that are available and how to access and effectively coordinate with
those services. This will help ensure that children receive the help that they need, moving us toward achieving
our goal of keeping children in school, at home, and out of trouble.
