There is a time in everyone’s life when a shoulder to lean on comes in handy, when having someone on your side isn’t just helpful, but necessary. KYCC’s clinical services unit provides the support that is needed for individuals to feel empowered to take the steps which will lead their lives in the right direction. Our services are offered on an individual, family or group basis to fit the needs of our clients. The programs champion prevention, strong families and the safety and well-being of children. Our clinicians have programs set up through many schools in the area to provide more convenient services to the children who need to access them. All of our health services are provided free of charge. Services are available in English, Korean and Spanish and include:
> Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention
