A recent Kids Count report shows what so many families already feel every day: the USVI is facing a dramatic drop in child population, high poverty rates, and one of the highest percentages of single-mother households in the nation. These pressures make it harder for mothers to stay in the territory and raise their children with the support they deserve.
At Play OnWords Therapeutic Services, we are committed to being part of the solution.
We proudly accept MAP โ one of the few places that still does โ because access to therapy shouldnโt depend on income or insurance barriers. Families deserve real options here, not off-island.
How weโre showing up for local families:
โข Flexible scheduling for working and single mothers
โข Culturally rooted, parent-supported therapy approaches
โข Partnerships with local schools, daycares, and community programs
โข A commitment to keeping high-quality therapy accessible right here in the USVI
To every mother choosing to stay, to fight for your childโs future, and to invest in our islands โ we see you, we support you, and weโre here to walk beside you.
๐ If you want to learn more or get connected with services, send us a message or stop by the clinic.
