The 10,000 square-foot facility will provide support, from art therapy to counseling, to roughly 700 families each year.
The Child Center of NY treats 43,000 children and families each year at nearly 70 school and other locations.
The center’s main areas include early childhood education, behavioral health, residential treatment, prevention and family support, health homes and integrated care, and youth development.
