Help for Families

If you're in need of emergency assistance, please call us at 518-371-1185. Our family empowerment programs are listed below. Please note all programs are following CDC and New York State guidelines to keep clients, donors, volunteers, and staff safe and healthy.

 Family Development Program 

Family Development mentors are available to meet with individuals or families on a one-on-one basis. These trained volunteers provide confidential help to people in areas such as resume building, job searches, and budgeting. Mentors are aware of many resources in Saratoga County, and can be a great support to people who are going through a difficult time. Call 518-371-1185 or contact us here.

 Family Support Services 

We provide advocacy, support groups, information and referral, proactive intervention, respite and skills-building for families with children who have social and/or emotional challenges in fourteen counties throughout the Capital District, Central New York, and North Country. Call 518-371-1185 or contact us here.

 Getting Ahead 

A 12-16 week group workshop (currently virtual) to help people stabilize their situations and build resources to improve their lives. Participants create their own plan for a sustainable life, explore resources needed for sustainability, build healthy relationships with others, begin the process of writing their own future stories, and examine how they can change the legacy they leave to their families and community.
