Rooted in Your Community
For more than 50 years, we have provided compassionate care to individuals and families across our communities.
What began with a small group of volunteers has grown into one of New Jersey’s most comprehensive health and social service organizations. Today, we provide mental health, addiction, developmental disability services designed around the needs of the whole person.

Our programs support emotional and physical wellness while helping people build greater stability in their everyday lives. Because care is about more than a diagnosis. It is about having a safe place to live, access to food, meaningful relationships, opportunities to work and the support to move forward.
This is how Oaks cares.

Our story has grown through partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to caring for children, adults and families. Each organization brings its own history, strengths and deep connections to the communities they serve.
1960s
The Beginning
Family Service of Burlington County
A small group of volunteers in Moorestown, New Jersey, created Family Service of Burlington County to provide counseling and emergency intervention to adults, children and families. Working from donated space, volunteers made support available around the clock to people who had nowhere else to turn.
1970s – 2011
Expanding to Meet Community Needs
Building a Network of Care
As community needs changed, Family Service continued to grow. By 2011, the organization offered 65 behavioral health programs across nine counties in southern and central New Jersey.

Becoming Twin Oaks Community Services
Family Service and Steininger Behavioral Care Services
Family Service merged with Steininger Behavioral Care Services to form Twin Oaks Community Services.

Within three years, Twin Oaks expanded to more than 120 programs, including outpatient care, housing, residential programs, food assistance, case management and more.
