Help Make The Holidays Extra Happy! MercyFirst works hard to provide safe opportunities for healing and hope to secure a brighter future for the children and families we serve. OUR PROGRAMS MercyFirst works with children and families who have been traumatized - children who have been abused or growing up without parents, families in crisis, and teens who have lost hope for the future. Every year we provide hope and healing to thousands of children who are struggling; giving them the foundation for a better tomorrow. We provide this help through a variety of different programs and services located throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties: Family Support Services Care Management Services Youth Development Services Medical and Mental Health Services Family Foster Care and Adoption Services Residential Programs Community-based Group Homes Mother-Child Residences Campus-based Residential Treatment Services START With Hope - Services to Immigrant Youth and Families MercyFirst is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and is Sanctuary Certified as an organization that is trauma-informed in all that it does. All residential programs are licensed either through NYS Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) or NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH). MercyFirst also participates in the Federal Breakfast/Lunch Snack Program. A copy of our Wellness Policy is available (click to view Wellness policy).
