Mother, Activist, Fighter for Justice
Our Founder: Emma L. Bowen
Emma L. Bowen was a mother, community activist and fighter for justice who was always concerned about the well-being of her neighbors as well as her community. As a young widow with three beautiful daughters, Emma always found time to be actively involved in volunteering her services for the individuals residing in the Upper Manhattan and Harlem communities who were in need.
What People Say About the Bowen Center
“I am enormously proud to support the Bowen Center, Able House, the Chemical Dependence Program, and their staff. These employees, programs, and organizations are more important than ever as we attempt to provide all New Yorkers with the opportunity to better themselves and their futures.”
The Bowen Center has long committed itself to recognizing the dignity and humanity of those who struggle with mental health issues. For nearly five decades, it has established itself as one of Harlem’s leading community-based organizations, providing dedicated behavioral health services that enable individuals and families, coping with mental health illness, regardless of age.”
