Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible outpatient behavioral health care and prevention services for children, teens, and adults. In 1970, Family Court Judge Richard Shay recognized a lack of options for youth coming into his court. The demonstration project was designed to see if community volunteers could be trained to provide effective family counseling services.
Volunteer Family Counseling Services became the first organization in New York State to divert juveniles from family court into a counseling program. The early success of the volunteer family counselors led the agency to add a volunteer youth mentoring program. The youth mentors provided one-to-one counseling and support for troubled youth.
