HCC has been awarded a $5,000 grant from the Long Island Fund for Women & Girls (LIFWG) to fund the Mothers’ Education & Training Program, in order to help immigrant mothers to understand their legal rights and responsibilities as parents and to become educational advocates for their children. LIFWG is a charitable organization that invests in the power of women and girls.

Hedge Funds Care made a $25,000 grant to support the efforts of the agency to work with children exposed to domestic violence and their non-offending parents. HCC provides mental health treatment and a range of ancillary family services to work with these vulnerable families. The goal of the program is to break the familial cycle of abuse through treatment, education, and supportive services to effect lasting beneficial change in the lives of the children and the family. Hedge Funds Care is devoted to preventing and treating child abuse worldwide.

HCC is grateful for the continued support of the Manhasset Community Fund’s Greentree Foundation “Good Neighbor” Fund, which is providing support for workshops and services for Hispanic parents, particularly those in Town of North Hempstead. HCC provides education and training to assist parents to negotiate the school system and become active participants in their children’s success.

Smithers Foundation, HCC will be able to provide a Chemical Dependency Education Series in Spanish and during the evening hours in the Bay Shore Clinic and provide intakes in the evening.
