Parenting is hard – plain and simple. Our goal is to make your life easier. Whether it’s helping your child to succeed in school, encouraging their development and maturity through counseling, or education for you to learn new parenting techniques, we have a number of programs that allow parents to thrive with the peace of mind that their child is getting all of the support they need.
Student Advocacy
At VCS, our advocates help families feel less isolated and more empowered to work with their school district to obtain the needed educational or behavioral services that can improve a student's ability to succeed at school. We know that the process can be confusing and daunting for families and so we take the time to learn about and fully understand what may be impacting the student’s ability to easily access the educational curriculum.
School Based Clinics
Maybe that means finding the right services for your child because they need professional support. We offer direct 1-on-1 counseling for students ages 10+ in the following Rockland schools:
- Haverstraw Elementary School
- Kakiat Steam Academy
- Pomona Middle School
- Ramapo High School
- Spring Valley High School
Parenting Programming
Something we all ask ourselves as parents, at one point or another, is “am I doing this right?” There isn’t a perfect guidebook for parenting, and it can be a challenge to know if we’re on the right path. We offer two different types of parenting programs to help you feel more confident in your parenting.
Our Parent Education courses cover core parenting topics such as child development and effective discipline across a 12 week curriculum.
Our Parenting Apart Program is useful for all separating parents, whether they have been married or not, and focuses on the needs of children during such times.
