Children & Family Services Boy Unit is a specialized social services organization dedicated to supporting at-risk youth through rehabilitation, education, and behavioral health services. As part of a broader network that serves children and families across New York State, the Boy Unit focuses specifically on the care and development of male adolescents who have been placed in residential care due to neglect, abuse, or juvenile justice involvement. The program emphasizes a structured, therapeutic environment designed to foster emotional and psychological growth. Residents are provided with individualized treatment plans, educational support, and life skills training to help them achieve long-term stability and independence.

The facility works closely with caseworkers, psychologists, and local education authorities to ensure comprehensive, wraparound support. It also promotes family involvement through counseling and supervised visitation, aiming to facilitate healthy reunification where possible. The organization is committed to trauma-informed care practices and culturally competent approaches tailored to the diverse backgrounds of the youth it serves. The Boy Unit is part of a statewide initiative under the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to provide holistic, rehabilitative support, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.
