Sometimes the impact of a program isn’t measured in numbers — it’s felt in moments. 💛

We’d like to shine a spotlight on 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬, Director of the Family Court Nursery at EOC of Suffolk, whose leadership helps create a safe, welcoming space for children during what can be very difficult days for their families. 🧸

Located inside the Central Islip Family Court, this free drop-in childcare program allows parents and caregivers to focus on urgent legal matters — from child support to custody and orders of protection — knowing their children are in a caring, supportive environment.

Jessica’s background in early childhood education, combined with her thoughtful, steady approach, helps ensure that every child who walks through the door is met with warmth, patience, and a sense of comfort. Under her leadership, the program has become a place where children feel safe, and where caregivers can find a moment of peace during an otherwise stressful time.

Because no family should have to choose between handling important legal matters and ensuring their child is cared for. 🏠

For more information, contact Jessica Weeks at (631) 582-2175 or jweeks@eoc-suffolk.com.

We’re excited to shine a spotlight on 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤 and 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐳, two outstanding members of EOC of Suffolk’s Comprehensive Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP) program who are already making a meaningful impact in the communities they serve. 🌟

In just a few short months, Jonisha has taken the lead on the 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 program at Wyandanch High School, where she has built strong, trusting connections with students and the broader community. Her energy and commitment have helped create a welcoming, supportive environment that students look forward to being part of each week.

At the same time, Tristen has been bringing people together across multiple communities — including Central Islip, Bay Shore, Brentwood, Wyandanch, and Patchogue — through initiatives like a Polar Plunge event and clothing donation drive. His efforts have not only supported local families but have also inspired young people to step up, get involved, and make a real difference. 👏

Together, Jonisha and Tristen represent the passion, leadership, and community spirit at the heart of EOC of Suffolk’s work. We look forward to all they will continue to accomplish in the months ahead.
