School Response Teams

Adolescent Health Education Initiative Children's Care Management 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

Like many children in the child welfare system, high school…

Like many children in the child welfare system, high school was a challenge for Emahni, who struggled in class and had difficulty completing her homework. Through The Foundling, Emahni was connected with Kat, who tutored her and even helped her submit her college applications. Thanks to Kat and The Foundling, Emahni passed her tests, graduated from high school, and was accepted into college. Kat was with her every step of the way.
