Family and Youth Peer Support

Navigating emotional, behavioral, or school-related challenges? No one has to do it alone.

The Family and Youth Peer Support program supports children, teens, young adults, and caregivers across the Bronx. FYPS pairs families and young people with trained peer advocates who have lived through similar experiences themselves, and come out the other side. Many families facing mental health and behavioral challenges struggle to find services that truly understand them, and often feel isolated moving between school, healthcare, and other complex systems. FYPS meets families where they are, offering support from someone who genuinely gets it.
