About Family Services of Westchester
Family Services of Westchester's Youth Residences give a chance in life to teens who might otherwise not have a chance. Boys and girls come to us deeply troubled, having suffered hurtful neglect and abuse or serious conflict with their parents. Many have been abandoned and have never experienced what most of us take for granted: a stable and secure home. They are often ready to turn their backs on a world that has rejected them. They leave our care, almost always knowing that the world can be harsh, but there are people on whom they can depend. They learn ways to cope, to tap into their strengths, to rise above, and to find hope and joy in becoming creative, contributing members of society.

The Girls Residence on Davis Avenue houses 8 young women. This youth residence provides support for teens in crisis and gives the youth - ages 13 to 21 -- a safe and nurturing environment in which to live while they are completing their schooling. Here, with the support of house parents, tutoring and a full range of supportive services, these youth are able benefit from what other children have in their natural homes: a caring environment that enables them to learn and grow; a safe haven that provides guidelines for interaction with their peers, their teachers, their employers and community at large.
