Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)

PSSF is a community-based outreach program of Jewish Family Services of Delaware (JFS) provided through a grant from the Delaware Division of Family Services Office of Prevention and Early Intervention.

The program’s Family Consultant, who is thoroughly familiar with both the needs and the resources within the community, offers information, referrals, and practical support to families facing life transitions and challenges. Program participants meet with the Family Consultant to identify problems and goals, brainstorm for solutions, and follow their individually tailored action plan.

The goal of PSSF is to help families move beyond the temporary relief of crisis alleviation to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary for independent problem-solving and family well-being.
