Family Link Plus
When families feel connected and supported, they thrive.
Family Link Plus is designed to help families when parenting may be more challenging because of mental health or substance use needs. We work with families to ensure safety and enhance well-being. The program focuses on providing support and resources to parents and caregivers experiencing mental health or substance use concerns as well as for children and teens who have emotional or behavioral needs or who have used alcohol or drugs. Our intensive, youth-friendly care is especially effective in getting hard-to-reach teens connected to services and improving their relationships with family members. Intensive in-home visits are also provided to help the family stay together.
Our Family Link Plus Family Treatment and Rehabilitation Preventive Services staff also provides resources and connects families to any additional services necessary, including supportive counseling, parenting education, domestic violence support, treatment referrals, housing advocacy, financial literacy, immigration support, assistance meeting a child’s developmental needs, and support navigating social service systems.
Who It’s For:
Families whose mental health and/ or substance use needs are impacting their parenting or whose child has emotional or behavioral needs or has used alcohol or drugs. Families in our program typically live in the Bronx.
