Harlem Dowling West Side Center for Children and Family Services (HDWC)

Family prevention/community based programs - Harlem Dowling Family support Services connect parents and Children with safety net Services to address the nature of crises that cause stress and threaten a Family's ability to remain intact. Some of the Services provided are individual and/or Family counseling and assistance with housing and employment. All of these Services are intended to reduce the stress on the parent and reduce the risk of out-of-home placement for Children. Our community-based programs consist of Family support Services, evidence-based individual and group level parenting interventions, a community child abuse prevention initiative, after school activities for more than 350 Children daily, and emergency food assistance.
