The New York Asian Women’s Center’s Children’s Program (NYAWC) helps youth recover from trauma related to family violence through individual counseling, support groups, case management/advocacy, and recreational activities. NYAWC staff have observed that older youth are more resistant to therapy. In addition, they are no longer able to participate in the mentoring program because of a new age-restriction policy at their partner organization.
