Abstract
Administrators of publicly funded mental health services are increasingly interested in evidence-based practices that can be reasonably implemented to help people in recovery. This article offers an example of a service that meets these requirements. It describes the successful development and implementation of Intensive Family Support Services, a New Jersey-based program available to families caring for a loved one with a mental illness. Contributors to the article share their direct experiences over the past 25 years, which have led to the program's current operation. These experiences include the essential steps taken to develop policy, implement standards, and provide ongoing funding for an emerging best-practice model in family support. Also detailed are the many ways New Jersey has embraced a family-driven approach to develop and deliver support services.
