Did you know? Elmcrest's Mental Health Respite is open and accepting referrals 24/7. Contact 680-895-0666 or ccrreferrals@elmcrest.org Our programs and services, both residential and community-based, give hope to children at risk, while helping families overcome extreme circumstances. Elmcrest presents opportunities for education, employability, and helps children build character strengths and social skills. Programs are tailored for children to succeed: in the classroom, in the workplace, in their homes, and in their communities. Elmcrest’s family support programs help parents and caregivers access services to manage challenging environments.
At Elmcrest, we also focus on teaching coping skills, character strengths, and social skills. We introduce new paths for boys and girls to succeed in the classroom, the workplace, and their communities. Families find support systems to cope with challenging issues. This is the Elmcrest commitment to the children and families we serve. The opportunities begin here...
“Our origins began in May of 1845 when a group of churchwomen opened the Syracuse Orphan’s Asylum, promising the children protection and safety. More than 175 years later, the Elmcrest promise of protection and safety is the foundation of our work with children. We honor the legacy of our founders along with the entire community that continues to support our work.”
– Joseph J. Geglia, Executive Director
