The Mental Health Association of Westchester – Yonkers

The Greater Mental Health of New York – Yonkers Clinic is based in Yonkers, New York. They treat mental health and substance abuse disorders from their outpatient center. They also have services to help you find employment and services specially for veterans and their immediate families.

The Yonkers Clinic used to belong to the Mental Health Association of Westchester. This was before they merged with the Mental Health Association of Rockland.

They have an offering called Children and Family Treatment and Support Services. This program is designed to help teenagers who are facing behavioral health concerns. Their collection of specialists ensures that teens receive personalized and comprehensive attention.

One part of this program involves working with a family peer advocate. As a parent, you’ll receive guidance from someone who has also parented a child facing mental or behavioral health challenges. They understand a large part of what you go through every day, which makes their insights and support more meaningful. They help you develop the skills needed to advocate for your child in different situations. They can also give you advice on parenting effectively and tapping into your existing support system.
