Family Service of Morris County (FSMC) is a private, non-profit organization serving Morris County for over 196 years with a mission of strengthening the community by empowering individuals and families to meet and overcome life's challenges. Within our mission, we concentrate on prevention and early intervention in four strategic areas to make an impact on our communities by: 

Giving children the best start in life with programs that focus on improved social and emotional well being, parenting, early childhood education, grief counseling, family support and resources;
Keeping older adults independent and in their homes through social day centers, caregiver respite, in-home case-management, financial literacy and programs for the blind and visually impaired;
Building and maintaining healthy families by helping them cope with everyday challenges of stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, marital issues, and the unique concerns of Military families;
Preventing substance abuse in families and communities through education.

FSMC offers over 20 innovative programs that provide counseling, education, advocacy and support to nearly 6,000 children, families and seniors in the community.

Seniors with Complex Issues Finally Get Help!
