Our 37 programs include foster care, residential treatment facilities, mental health services, case management, education programs and special services for children who have been the victims of sexual abuse. We serve New York’s neediest and most vulnerable children and families to insure that their safety, permanency and well-being leads to a life of stability and promise.
Mitigating Immigrant Children's Emotional Trauma
USA TODAY OpEd From JCCA CEO Ronald E. Richter
CEO Ronald E. Richter writes, “These children will carry the weight of this government-imposed separation for the rest of their lives. As it has with mine, the legacy of their pain will stay with their family for generations to come. But it need not be the only legacy. Our future hinges on the actions we take today to restore justice and humanity for the most innocent among us. Together, we must show these children — and one another — that our collective love, compassion and respect for the dignity of all people are greater than the shameful acts that have been perpetrated against them in our name.”
