Youth Support Groups

Support groups play a vital role for many who live with mental illness. Support groups offer emotional support, share knowledge, teach skills, provide practical assistance, and connect people with resources, opportunities and others who share similar life experiences.

OPERATION COM (Children of the Military)

Since 2009, Operation COM has provided services to military families living in Western New York. Our program is designed to help all military families cope with the stresses of deployment through creative expression, play, and various supportive programming. Our goal is to offer support to military families, to assist with healthy adjustment to both deployment and reunification; as well as to help families build relationships with other military families and their children.
