The Child Center of NY | Jamaica Family Wellness Center

Health services can feel scattered in Queens, but The Child Center of NY | Jamaica Family Wellness Center pulls several under one low roof. The Jamaica office at 163-18 Jamaica Ave sits above street level on the second floor. Core offerings include mental-health counseling, family support groups, early-childhood screenings, and youth mentorship programs. Add substance-use counseling, immigration legal services, and workshops for parents, and the menu covers a broad slice of family wellness.

Traffic down Jamaica Avenue can stall, so plan the trip before you leave. 163-18 Jamaica Ave is above the usual storefronts—take the elevator or stairs to the second floor and follow the signs. Typical stops nearby include the Queens Library and King Manor; park once and knock out errands while you’re at it.

They don’t post rigid hours online; just call or drop by the main desk and see what fits. Children’s behavioral therapy, adult stress management, and immigration intake share the same waiting schedule. Common entry points are referrals from school counselors or self-referral; ask about sliding-scale fees when you speak to the intake coordinator.
