  • Armenia/Artsakh

    Supporters have funded and continue to fund new births at the center at $150 per newborn. Seventy percent of the sponsored orphans by the ARS-WUSA resided in the following towns in decreasing order: Hadroud (the most); Askaran; Mardouni; Martakert; Stepanakert; Shoushi; and Yerevan. Initially, the sponsorship for the Sponsor-A-Child program was $120 per year. The ARS 68th International Convention, held in Montreal, Canada, raised the sponsorship to $200, to account for the cost of living increase in Armenia and Artsakh.

  • Child, Youth, and Family Guidance Center

    Recognizing the need for professional help is a good first step towards improvement. Therapy can be of real benefit, providing help for a wide range of problems, such as depression, loss, marital problems, parent-child concerns, anger issues, relationship issues, substance abuse or emotional distress. It can also help fulfill aspirations for personal growth or self-improvement. Sometimes we need to talk to someone who can help: When we feel like we cannot do it alone; When we feel trapped, with nowhere to turn; When we worry all the time, and never seem to find the answers; When the way we feel is affecting our sleep, our eating habits, our job, our relationships, and our everyday life; When even the advice offered by family or well-meaning friends does not really help us feel any better. To make an appointment, please call (818) 546-2744. Referrals can be faxed to (818) 500-9134.
