Since 1853, Children's Aid provides comprehensive community services to children of all ages and their families residing in underserved communities. An array of services supports families from cradle to college to alleviate societal challenges that can interrupt a child, adolescent or young adults' abilities to thrive and maximize their potential.
Children's Aid offers a continuum of short-term evidence-based interventions of varying levels of intensity, in four boroughs. The preventive services continuum consists of Family Support, therapeutic and Family Assessment Program (FAP) program services as well as the Safe Way Forward Program for families impacted by Domestic Violence. Our preventive service interventions are charged with the responsibility to avert current, future or repeat involvement with child welfare, juvenile justice systems.

This joint prevention-clinical service model offers comprehensive trauma-informed services to the whole family, including the survivor of IPV, the person causing harm (PCH), and children exposed to the IPV/DV in the home. Our range of services includes in-home visitation, crisis intervention, case management, advocacy, trauma-informed individual counseling, group counseling/education, and referral to other appropriate services. The SWF program serves 65 families residing in the Bronx.
