decrease in mental health crises in NYC schools utilizing our School-Based Mental Health Services
In 6th grade, Delany’s her deep struggles with anxiety, sadness, and insecurity severely impacted her life at school and home. When she was referred to our School-Based Mental Health program, her outlook began to change. As Delany began working with a Foundling therapist, she learned strategies to cope and renew her focus – tools that have helped in her successful transition to high school.
When Delany’s younger sister, Melody, their mother knew where to turn. She reached out to The Foundling, and Melody was matched with a Foundling school-based therapist who helped her build her own set of tools to work through her anxiety. These sisters and their loving mother know they can count on The Foundling – no matter where their path leads.
