School Response Teams

Adolescent Health Education Initiative Care Management and Coordination 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 Brooklyn 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

As a young teen, Justice was arrested and found himself…

As a young teen, Justice was arrested and found himself facing a serious criminal accusation and possible jail time. His judge referred him to The Foundling's juvenile justice program, and the intensive counseling and support he and his family received from his therapist, Stephanie, helped him to avoid a criminal record and get back on the path to success.
