About Coalition for Hispanic Family Services – Enlazos Familiares

The Coalition for Hispanic Family Services – Enlazos Familiares was founded in 1990 with a goal of providing sensitive culturally appropriate services to Latino children, families and individuals of the Brooklyn community. They offer outpatient treatment, mental health evaluations, group therapy and family counseling in Brooklyn, New York. Other services are designed to help children and families manage challenges such as immigration, separation and loss which can lead to distress if not properly addressed.

With grant supported programs they may have funding through public health programs to help you offset cost, especially in areas such as addiction treatment or mental health. They also accept sliding fee scales, out of pocket payments and insurance.

Treatment, Counseling and Prevention Programs

The Coalition provides individual and group counseling for substance abuse and mental health. This helps locate the root case of your disorder by diving deeper into triggers such as family dynamics, trauma or mental health. These classes can help individuals better manage their struggles and begin the healing process.

Latino Community Focus

To help with your recovery you can expect a lot of group activities and group outings focusing on Latino families such as cultural events, celebrations, festivals and art shows. These programs and events help bring the Latino Community together and celebrate their heritage.

BEWARE OF FOSTERING FROM THIS AGENCY! Senior management will give you NO SUPPORT, fail the kids, when you complain in advocating for your foster child/ren, they will close your home with a bad recommendation from future fostering! I have spoken to staff who does care and agree that this agency does not always work in the kids’ best interest but their hands are tied so turnover here is very high! ACS is aware of this and needs to shut them down or at the very least an agency or organization who works in the best interest of these vulnerable and traumatized kids should investigate them! How can they take kids from their parents and do worst by them? As a former FC, I am begging Coalition to PLEASE DO BETTER!

Your Honor, this statement is not intended to constitute defamation of character. It is an expression of my personal viewpoint, which is protected under the United States Constitution as freedom of speech. My purpose is to communicate my experience related to this institution. This expression is not hate speech, nor is it meant to be taken as a personal attack against any individual. If some interpret it otherwise, such interpretations are mistaken, as such was never the intent. I was involved with this agency for approximately sixteen years but am no longer affiliated with them, as my rights were ultimately terminated. From my personal experience, my interactions with this agency were financially, emotionally, and psychologically draining. The agency’s practices placed significant strain on my marriage. Their actions appeared to isolate parents and encourage discord between couples by influencing how parents viewed and communicated with one another, including within the privacy of their marital relationship. During this time, I was encouraged, even pressured, to seek mental health services, which I did. I attended various facilities and worked with a psychologist. The psychologist at that time stated that the situation was a custody matter, which was outside her role to determine. However, that professional opinion was not accepted by the Coalition. Despite my efforts to comply and address every requirement in an expeditious and responsible manner, I was unable to regain custody of my two daughters, who were in the agency’s care. It is important that I emphasize the following: I am not engaging in defamation. Rather, I am sharing my personal account of how my case was handled. In my view, the Coalition operated in a manner that was harmful, excessively personal in its reactions, and, in my opinion, deeply antagonistic toward parents who were engaged in the reunification process through services that were limited in scope and poorly administered. Based on my experience, I perceived the agency as a form of institutional bullying and an organization lacking accountability. I understand that I have the right to speak openly and critically about institutions and services that affect the public, especially those that had a direct impact on my life. To my knowledge, there exists no court order that prohibits me from sharing my experience publicly in this way. My daughters are now adults, and I speak from both a personal and parental perspective. Furthermore, it is a matter of public record that anyone may file a complaint against ACS (Administration for Children’s Services) or its affiliates, including the Coalition by Hispanic Family Services. Public reviews and complaints exist, and mine is candid but measured compared to some of what has already been published. While I understand the risks in speaking so openly, and while I have personal concerns about retaliation, I nonetheless feel it is important to detail the level of discontent I experienced in what I found to be a highly vindictive and damaging organizational culture. This testimony represents my lived experience and personal perspective, expressed lawfully and with the intention of informing, not defaming.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

This foster agency is extremely bad. Social workers and case planners do not care about my concerns when it comes to my daughter’s health. They seem nice but they just genuinely don’t care about nobody kids they only care about getting paid. They won’t allow me to make sure that my daughter is safe and getting all the medical attention that she needs and is supposed to get. Someone is lying about saying I didn’t lose my parental rights but it feels like that way. It seems like I have no saying in what or how my daughter feeding schedule should be like or how my daughter should getting taken care of. THIS CASE PLANNERS AND SOCIAL WORKER ARE EXTREMELY BAD AT COMMUNICATION!!!! They won’t answer no text message even if it urgent, they will wait until they’re return back to work to return your phone call or messages. I also think someone is lying on my case and is trying to sabotage it so won’t get my daughter back. Everyone is very unprofessional, we’ll wait weeks later to bring up someone concerns or any information that was bought up a month later. It’s been 50 days I only get 2 agency visits which highly sad that I don’t get to see my kid like I’m supposed to.
