Stronger families, brighter futures.

Every family deserves support, guidance, and the resources to thrive. Our Preventive Services in New York are here to help families navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create safe, nurturing homes for children. Through personalized, family-centered services, we work to prevent crises, promote stability, and empower caregivers with the tools to build a brighter future.


Family Wraparound

The Family Wraparound Program is a supportive, strengths-based program designed to help families with children and youth aged 0-17 in court-directed custody cases. Our dedicated team of case managers and clinicians work closely with families to address challenges that may increase risks for children and youth at home. With a focus on safety, well-being, and family preservation, we work closely with caregivers and children to build the skills needed to overcome current stressors. We also collaborate with other services and programs to ensure families receive the comprehensive support they need to thrive.

Parenting with Love and Limits

Parenting with Love and Limits (PLL) is a short-term, evidence-based program designed to support families with youth aged 10-18 facing challenges at home, school, or with peers. PLL offers a combination of group sessions, family coaching, and case management to strengthen families and restore harmony within the home. Through 6 group sessions, weekly coaching (in-home, community, or office-based), and case management services, PLL works with parents and caregivers to develop strategies for managing youth behaviors and creating a family plan to address challenges. By partnering with other services your child may be involved in, PLL helps reduce the risk of youth placement outside the home, supports reintegration if necessary, and empowers families to make lasting positive changes.

Brief Strategic Family Therapy

Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) is a short-term, evidence-based approach designed to help families with youth aged 10-18 navigate challenges such as behavioral issues, family conflict, and struggles with school or peers. BSFT focuses on identifying and changing unproductive family dynamics that may contribute to the youth’s difficulties. The therapist works closely with the family to develop practical strategies and interventions that promote healthier communication, stronger relationships, and positive behavioral change. By focusing on the family as a whole, BSFT helps create a supportive environment where all members can work together to overcome challenges and strengthen their family bond.
