About Family and Children's Association
WELCOME MESSAGE – from James J. Harnett, President and CEO
How often have we heard the phrase, “There but for fortune go you or I.” And how often have we taken this expression to heart?
Life’s challenges can be lifelong or sudden; they can affect the poor, the rich or anyone in between. Family and Children’s Association has an ongoing commitment to provide hope where hopelessness once existed. We are the stewards of many needs – human, financial, educational, physical and mental health-related, legal, safety and shelter-based – just some of the areas of hardship for the most challenged in our communities. Family and Children’s Association is driven by the needs of our community members –needs that we anticipate through professional foresight and those to which we react.
We invite you to explore our website and learn about the depth and breadth of our commitment to protecting and strengthening Long Island’s children, individuals, families and communities.
OUR MISSION:
To protect and strengthen Long Island’s children, individuals, families and communities.
HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR MISSION:
Family and Children's Association, the human service network for Long Island, provides a coordinated system of more than 40 individual programs carefully designed to help babies, children, adults, senior citizens, and families lead more self-sufficient lives. Family and Children’s protects and nurtures abused and neglected babies and children; shelters homeless and abandoned teenagers, teaching them to trust in themselves; helps and supports families in crisis; treats and rehabilitates people of all ages with mental health and substance abuse problems; and safeguards senior citizens, helping them to live the lives they wish for themselves.
Family and Children's Association has served the people of Nassau and Suffolk counties for more than a century. The work of the agency’s 400 employees and 240 volunteers touches the lives of more than 48,000 individuals every year, helping people in every walk of life, from financially secure families to the poor and working poor.
We are dedicated to matching people with whatever services will make their goals possible. If you can’t find the services you are looking for on our website, please contact us directly.
