The Child Center of NY

The Macari Family Wellness Center – Child Center of NY is a community center located in Queens, New York. At this location they offer treatment for children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with addiction and mental health. This facility provides anger management, early childhood mental health services, Asian outreach programs, family and multilingual outpatient counseling services.

During the beginning stages of recovery, it can be off putting due to the fear of the unknown when learning to walk and live a new way of life. Seeking counseling can improve your relationships, help you develop healthy coping skills, encourage self acceptance, and offer guidance.

What sticks out to me with this facility is the importance and focus they put on family wellness. Family counseling provides an opportunity to strengthen and rebuild your relationships with your loved ones. This helps everyone involved to learn how to develop boundaries, resolve conflicts, and come to a better understanding of one another by developing more empathy towards your loved ones.

Their Asian outreach program assists families who may be experiencing challenges due to language barriers and lack of support. They also speak a variety of languages including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi and Korean.
