Westwood Youth & Family Services
Westwood Youth & Family Services has been supporting and advocating for the children and families in our community since 1986. We are a municipally funded agency providing clinical and supportive services designed to foster the healthy growth of children ages 4-18. Westwood Youth & Family Services works in close collaboration with town agencies, the Westwood Public Schools, and other community based non-profit groups.
Parents and children often contact us because of school-related behavior or academic issues, peer and social problems, child and parent conflict, or other behavior problems associated with normal child and family development. However, we offer a wide range of services that are free to Westwood residents and confidential.
Services Provided*:
- Problem Focused Individual, Group and Family Counseling
- Parent Education and Child Guidance
- Psychological Assessment Services
- Consultation and clinical referrals regarding mental health issues and help accessing social services.
- Additional services are provided for children K-5 such as Structured Play Groups (social skills group for K-5), Body Safety Theater (sexual abuse prevention program for Grade 3), Friends Network Program (mentoring program that pairs high school students with elementary school children in grades 3-5).
