The
CRADLE in Bedford-Stuyvesant
The CRADLE (Community taking Responsibility for
Assisting in Developing Life and Empowerment) is a collaborative
of families, concerned community residents, community based organizations,
civic leaders, and governmental entities engaged in a partnership
that seeks to enhance services which promote safety, well being
and permanency of infants and their families in the Bedford-Stuyvesant
community. The project federally funded by the Children’s
Bureau and administered by the NYC
Administration for Children’s
Services. This System of Care Initiative is one of nine five-year
demonstration projects throughout the nation.
Our
Mission
Our mission is to design and build a family focused and integrated
system of care that will strengthen our community’s ability to “cradle” families
using strengths, resources and unique cultural assets to promote safety,
permanency and overall wellness of infants and their families.
Our
Vision
We envision a future where all infants, children
and families can access coordinated services that contribute to
their social, educational,
cultural and economic development, within the Bedford Stuyvesant community.
We are working to create a healthy Bedford Stuyvesant in which people
and systems with different strengths and perspectives work together
for a better future.
