    School Response Teams

    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 Founding’s School Response Teams help to prevent crises by partnering with teachers and administrators to help them know what to look for, how to respond, and what services are available in the community that support mental health.

    In many schools, a lack of relevant resources and training means that mental health concerns among students frequently go unnoticed or unaddressed until they rise to the level of crisis. The Foundling’s School Response Teams works to enhance the resources available to schools to address mental health needs before they develop into crisis situations. The program operates in Staten Island and Queens and equips New York City public middle schools with the capacity to respond to their students’ mental health problems through staff training and consultation, and provides services to students through linkages to community-based resources, direct crisis intervention, and prevention activities.

    Success Stories

    From the hospital room to a happy home

    Marina was thrilled to learn she was pregnant for the second time. But when she discovered she was expecting twins, the excitement quickly shifted to anxiety. It had been nearly 13 years since she had her first child, and she worried that having twins would be a completely different experience. With guidance from The Foundling’s Healthy Families Program, Marina refreshed her parenting skills and learned about community resources available to her and the new babies, Amaya and Ayden. From the hospital room to today, The Foundling's family support specialists have been there every step of the parenting journey. “The program has given me confidence in being a mom,” she says.
