PerformCare Family Leaders

PerformCare is committed to helping children, youth, and young adults with significant challenges gain access to high-quality behavioral health, intellectual and developmental disability, and substance use treatment services within their communities. The Family Leaders consist of parents and caregivers who partner with the PerformCare Executive Director and team to ensure that youth and families are informed of the Children’s System of Care (CSOC) services, benefits, and accessing care. Family Leaders have an essential role in determining how CSOC/PerformCare services are meeting the needs of youth and families.

PerformCare mission

Our mission is for families to partner with PerformCare to ensure that the strengths and needs of youth and families are upheld as driving elements of the CSOC.

Through a mutually beneficial relationship in which families and PerformCare collaborate to continually learn from one another, PerformCare fulfills its commitment to provide youth with access to "the right care at the right time."

Family Leaders meet four times a year via virtual teleconference. The 2025 schedule is as follows:

• Saturday, January 11 at 11 a.m.
• Saturday, April 5 at 11 a.m.
• Wednesday, July 9 at 5 p.m.
• Saturday, October 11 at 11 a.m.

PerformCare is the single point of access to a wide array of behavioral health, intellectual and developmental disability, and substance use treatment services for youth and families throughout New Jersey. If you are the parent of a youth involved with services through PerformCare and would like to become a Family Leader, contact communications@performcarenj.org.
