About Monomoy

Monomoy is a private, not for profit agency whose purpose is to provide a variety of social service, childcare, and counseling resources for residents of the Town of Chatham. The scope of those services changes each year and is defined by community outreach, extensive needs assessment and ongoing research into the challenges facing our remarkable seaside village.

Monomoy is dedicated to promoting a healthy social environment for Chatham residents of all ages. Services are preventative and therapeutic. Goals of prevention include maintaining the integrity of family relationships, enhancing the mental and social development of individuals, easing the transition of youth and adolescents into the adult world, and helping parents, children and others cope with the stresses of society and the environment.

Monomoy believes that effective prevention results from active understanding and timely diffusion of potential problems. Monomoy's greatest strength lies in its ability to effectively respond to the changing needs of the community.

History

For over 35 years, Monomoy Community Services has been at the heart of mental health and support services for the residents of Chatham. What has come to be known as the Monomoy Youth and Family Center, began in the late 60's. First simply a "hot line" in a local church, it has expanded to become a vital community non-profit resource, dedicated to providing quality recreational, informational, and counseling services for Chatham families.
