Child & Family Support Services

Specialties

Child & Family Support Services is a not-​for-​profit organization established in the Bronx in 2002. We are devoted to providing services to special needs individuals across the lifespan that promote skill building, community involvement, and self-​advocacy.

As an agency contracting with the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), we provide Medicaid Service Coordination, Community Habilitation, and Respite services in the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. We also subcontract with Bridges to Health (B2H) agencies in NYC to provide direct-​care services to children with special needs in foster care.

History

Established in 2002.

Child & Family Support Services, Inc. is dedicated to rendering services in a culturally sensitive, person-​centered, and family-​oriented manner, with an emphasis on intervention through case management, education, and appropriate services. Being part of the community gives us a greater understanding of the plight of the people we serve. Through our multilingual and multicultural staff, we reach out to a variety of ethnic groups in the under-​serviced areas of metropolitan New York City.

We assist families in becoming stable, thereby preparing them to focus on the person with the disability and giving him/​her the attention he/​she deserves. Through informative, nurturing, and supportive case management and direct care, we are committed to empowering the families and the disabled individuals with the tools to become good self-​advocates. We make the appropriate links with other agencies and facilities to expand the range of services and choices for each individual in need.
