At Saint Dominic’s Family Services, we are proud to provide a range of therapeutic educational programs that support the academic, emotional, and developmental growth of children and young adults. We serve students living in Rockland, Westchester, and Orange Counties, as well as New York City, through two school locations:

Community Based Services
In addition to our educational programs, Saint Dominic’s Family Services offers wraparound support through our Community-Based Services (CBS) program. These services are designed to meet the broader needs of children and families outside the classroom, including afterschool support, mental health counseling, family therapy, case management, and other individualized services. By addressing challenges at home and in the community, we help ensure that each child and family receives the comprehensive care they need to thrive.
