Support Coordination Agency
Our mission is to help the individuals we serve find and maintain rewarding work, meaningful human connections and fulfilling activities in their daily lives. Through a strength based person-centered process, we act as facilitators to discover and put into place what is most important to them focusing on quality of services, being out in the community and having choices.
What We Focus On
Quality
We spend time getting to know you as a person first before developing your Individualized Service Plan (ISP)
Community
Living and working in your community, we are always looking to learn about the best programs, classes, resources and people around
Choice
We believe in having options and backups plans in case you change your mind or your circumstances change

“I think Family Journey is amazing and I would recommend them to anyone going through this process. They truly are so professional, kind and so amazing at what they do. I don’t know what we would do without them.”

What do you do?
For individuals who are receiving services from the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), a support coordination agency (SCA) is needed to help manage the services that they will receive.
How do I select a Support Coordination Agency?
You need to fill out the SCA selection form and send it to DDD and the selected SCA will reach out to you.
What makes your agency different?
We have support coordinators who have transition planning experience where they have prepared young adults for the many changes in programs and people they will encounter. In addition, they are invested in each individual and will not only take the time to really get to know them but will most likely be their long-term supporter.
What areas do you cover in New Jersey?
Currently, we service Hudson and Bergen counties.
