North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center has received a campaign contribution of $10,000 from the Charles and Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation to support the Guidance Center’s outpatient mental health program, including the Schnurmacher Bereavement and Trauma Program. The donation was made as part of a new campaign initiative to succeed the Campaign for the Next Generation that raised $2.5 million.
According to Guidance Center Executive Director Andrew Malekoff, “The next campaign phase will focus on sustaining our services into the future. This is especially critical during a time when New York State is moving away from supporting universal access to community-based mental health care for children and families. We are grateful to the Charles and Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation for their decades of support to children’s mental health.”
North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center is the pre-eminent children’s mental health agency on Long Island. The Guidance Center is dedicated to strengthening the emotional well-being of children and families, and leads the way in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, training, parent education, and advocacy.
The Guidance Center helps families to raise healthy children and works with kids (ages 0-24) who are troubled, in trouble, or causing trouble and parents who need help in these stressful times. Difficulties range from depression and anxiety, developmental delays and school failure, from substance abuse to family crises stemming from illness, death, trauma, and divorce. We offer outpatient mental health counseling and teen drug abuse and prevention services.
Our highly-qualified staff consists of teams of caring psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, drug & alcohol counselors, mental health counselors, and family advocates, with expertise in working with children.
