Nasrin found out about our Prevention and Family Support services when her son attended our Head Start program.

The Child Center of NY understands that the vast majority of parents want to do well by their children and will do so, given the right skills, education, counseling, and support — tools that we provide. Our Prevention and Family Support programs serve families with children at risk of abuse, neglect, or foster care placement, as well as those who simply need extra support. Using the evidence-based Solution-Based Casework model (SBC), our case planners work with families to identify challenges and goals and create a roadmap toward achieving them. Goals are stated in words that come directly from the family. This strengths-based approach helps families keep their children safely at home as they work to develop new patterns, based on their own individual strengths, so they can meet challenges safely and constructively — now and in the future.
