In the fourth year of the IWYC we continued to serve island families and YA ages 18 to 24. Services provided included: Referrals to various community organizations to assist residents with mental health and substance abuse issues, housing, government agencies supports (DTA, SNAP, etc.), case management, and programming in areas to support financial literacy and like skills. In November of 2019 the Department of Children and Families (DCF) increased funding to the IWYC enabling the program to expand from a Micro Family Resource Center to a Full Family Resource Center. With this expansion we were able to double our staff as well hire a 40 hour clinician. Programming for families and individuals will expand in the coming year as well increased hours of operation (three evenings a week and two Saturdays a month). Programming provided by the IWYC in 2019:

Bilingual Story Time (monthly)

NAMI - National Alliance on Mental Illness Family to Family Class (12 week session)
