St. Christopher's is a safe and nurturing, Residential Treatment Center for youth with special needs. We use evidence-based, therapeutic approaches to help children and young women and men, ages 12-21: pursue their studies, interests and passions; move beyond past traumas; and move forward with their lives as happy, healthy and connected members of their communities. We empower them with the same social-emotional coping skills and strengths we want our own children to have to become their best selves. We do this all and more at two, unique and inspired New York campuses in Dobbs Ferry and North Castle. Learn more about our admissions process by contacting Vivian Ossowski, Assistant Executive Director, at vossowski@sc1881.org.

St. Christopher's is also a Children's Health Homes/Care Management Agency. We help families of children and young women and men ages 6 to 21--who receive benefits through Medicaid and have specific, serious and/or chronic health conditions--access the healthcare, mental health and social support services their children need to get well and stay healthy. The comprehensive, better living services provided by our bilingual Care Managers ensure children and youth get the right care, at the right place, at the right time. We also assist families with important issues related to school, employment, housing, respite, access to healthy food, and beyond. Learn more about our enrollment process by contacting Maria Riccobono, Director of Health Homes, at mriccobono@sc1881.org.
