    Behavioral Health

    Partnership to Improve Community Health Outcomes

    Adolescent Health Education Initiative Children's Care Management Circle of Security Parenting Program Identity & Acceptance Program Health Services for Child Welfare Involved Children & Youth Partnership to Improve Community Health Outcomes School Based Mental Health Services School Response Teams Supportive Housing

    The Foundling launched Partnership for Improving Community Health Outcomes (PICHO) in collaboration with Blue Cross Blue Shield in order to better support children and young adults covered by insurance who struggle with managing their behavioral health and overall health.

    Managing and mitigating health concerns before the need for emergency intervention is crucial to providing higher quality health care at a lower cost to patients. Clients and families participating in PICHO are provided with evidence-based therapeutic service utilizing Functional Family Therapy – Behavioral Health. (FFT-BH). Therapy is provided in clients’ homes or communities and PICHO staff works to engage all family members. The program aims to reduce ER visits and emergency services use, and to support clients in managing their symptoms and mental health concerns in the community in a proactive way.

    Success Stories

    Vernon Learns to Cook and Eat Healthy

    The Foundling employs a full-time Nutrition team to ensure that the residents in our homes for people with developmental disabilities stay healthy - from nutritious meal planning to regular exercise courses.  Across all of our 104 supportive residences, staff and residents are encouraged to try new recipes and bolster their cooking skills. With the help of our dedicated staff, Vernon, who lives in one of our residences in Brooklyn, learned to cook his own healthy meal of oatmeal blueberry pancakes! Not only is he learning skills for independence, but is achieving the tools and mindset to stay healthy for years to come.
