With community needs rising as a result of the pandemic, Inspira IMPACT’s Family Success Centers are a valuable community resource providing support for families in need. They offer an array of free services ranging from legal and housing assistance to parenting and financial courses to obtaining household items and food. We talked to Brenda Smaniotto, Administrative Director of Inspira’s IMPACT Program, to learn more about the Family Success Centers and how they have been able to service the community during the pandemic.
Inspira’s IMPACT programs are designed to assist growing families and promote healthy living. By partnering with local community organizations, we can make a difference in young lives.
Our Approach to Making an IMPACT
When the IMPACT programs were first launched in 1998, they began as a partnership between Inspira Medical Centers and Vineland Public Schools, supported with funding from the New Jersey Department of Human Services.
Over the years, these programs have evolved to provide services for children of all ages and their families across South Jersey. Through grant funding from the New Jersey Department of Children and Families, we offer a Parent Linking Program, which supports teen parents attending Vineland High Schools; School Based Youth Services Programs in Millville and Vineland; and three Family Success Centers. We also provide Early Intervention services to children in Cumberland, Gloucester and Atlantic Counties as part of the New Jersey Department of Health program.
