I am humbled to be named to the Board Chair Hall of Fame by Cause Strategy Partners. This award recognizes my work as Chairman of the Board of The Family Center. Cause Strategy Partners helps social good organizations achieve their missions fueled by great leadership, great strategy, and most importantly, great results.

Third Community Impact Grant

April 2019

On Sunday, April 14th, Joel was honored to present The Family Center with a $20,000 check representing the third Community Impact Grant New York Life has awarded to The Family Center in four years.  This grant supports The Family Center’s Brooklyn ACTS program, Action for Child and Teen Success, which supports children impacted by trauma with counseling and other supportive services.  Thanks to services made possible by this Community Impact Grant, 75% of children and teens receiving psychological and psychiatric counseling in Brooklyn ACTS experience a reduction of PTSD symptoms.

The Family Center

December 2018

Newly-elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Family Center, Joel Field (center), pictured with Ivy Gamble Cobb (left) and Aileen Parker (right).

Joel is a long-time champion of the work The Family Center does to strengthen families affected by crisis, illness or loss, to create a more secure present and future for their children. Joel joined the Board of Directors of The Family Center in 2014 and since that time, has secured numerous corporate and foundation grants to support programs of The Family Center.  He served as Vice Chairman of the Board from 2016 – 2018. And, in November 2018, he was elected as Chairman of the Board. Joel is excited to continue serving this important and worthwhile organization in his new role as Chairman!

Community Impact Grant

August 2018

In August 2018, Joel Field was recognized once again for his philanthropic leadership in the community! The New York Life Foundation awarded Joel a $20,000 Community Impact Grant to benefit The Family Center. Joel is a dedicated champion of The Family Center and he serves as Vice Chairman of the Board for this organization which works to help families in New York who are struggling with family crisis or loss.

In funding this program, we are ensuring that children and families, who have been exposed to trauma, receive specialized trauma-informed services including: psychological and psychiatric screenings for PTSD for all family members, TF-CBT or SPARCS for children and teens, RPC for parents or caregivers, case management to ensure these families access all benefits to which they are entitled, medication management for those family members requiring psychiatric treatment, and care management to coordinate health care services for children with complex trauma.

As a result of Brooklyn ACTS, The Family Center expects that 75% of enrolled children and their families will achieve at least 3 of the following outcomes: (1) Increased understanding of the impact of trauma and common childhood reactions; (2) Increased mastery of parenting skills to optimize children’s emotional and behavioral adjustment; (3) Increased stress management skills; (4) Increased ability of children and parents to identify and cope with a range of emotions; and (5) Reduced avoidance that interferes with daily functioning (i.e. of trauma reminders).

Additionally, through community training and education conducted by the Brooklyn ACTS staff, community members and staff of local child-serving systems (including schools, child welfare, and juvenile justice) will be able to recognize and respond to the signs and symptoms of trauma and emotional distress. Through a rigorous evaluation, The Family Center will determine the efficacy and impact of  the Brooklyn ACTS model, will disseminate findings and will use evaluation and cost data to contribute to the ongoing NYS discussion on how best to strengthen the mental health safety net for at-risk children and adolescents.
