WHO WE ARE

Family Ties of Westchester is a grassroots organization that provides advocacy and support services to families of children with emotional and behavioral difficulties.

At its five Family Resource Centers in Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Mount Kisco, Ossining, and Peekskill, Family Ties offers support groups, training in parenting skills, advocacy efforts, and respite opportunities.  Family Ties recognizes parents as full partners in planning for their children’s treatment and services and helps empower them to take part in the decision-making process.

WHAT WE DO

Family Ties provides a wide variety of support groups for parents, grandparents, siblings, foster parents, and dads only. We offer specialized groups to the parents of very young children, and services to parents with their own psychiatric disabilities.  In addition to respite opportunities, parent skills training, and recreational opportunities, parent retreats, educational workshops, leadership training and spokesperson training are also available.  Family Ties strives to keep children in the community, at home with their families.  It provides advocacy services, one-to-one work with families, and telephone support.  We also maintain a resource library for parents and have computers available for family use at our resource centers.  All of Family Ties services are free and confidential.
