Graham Windham

Programs: -“Graham SLAM” is one of Graham Windham’s most notable programs, because it offers participants support until the age of 25 – even if they are no longer part of the child welfare system. The program coaches and guides children and adolescents in the foster care or juvenile justice systems (or at risk of entering the system) through high school, college or vocational school, and their search for a living-wage career. Graham Windham aims to expand its Graham SLAM program from serving 200 to 1,000 students. - Graham Windham’s "Bridges to Health" initiative provides home-based services, workshops, and trainings to children in foster care who struggle with emotional and behavioral disorders, chronic health issues, and developmental delays. Foster parents can select from thirteen home-based services provided by healthcare professionals, and children receive Bridges to Health support throughout their childhoods – even if they are no longer part of the foster care system. Graham Windham is the second-largest provider of home-based child health services in New York State. - Graham Windham also runs mental health clinics for children in Harlem, the Bronx, and Brooklyn which provide mental health services for nearly 450 children, adolescents, and parents each year. - Graham Windham operates Beacon and Cornerstone Activity Centers at two public schools in Manhattan and the Bronx as well as a public housing development in Manhattan. During the school year, the programs provide tutoring, extracurricular activities, and assistance with admission to competitive schools and colleges. During the summer, Graham Windham runs day-camps and helps students find summer jobs. - Graham Windham’s Foster Care and Prevention program provides Family Foster Care, Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care, adoption services, Foster Parent Support, Family Success Programming, and ongoing Parent Peer Support through their Forever Families Initiative. - “The Graham School” is an accredited K-12 public school that serves "300 at-risk day and resident students from the New York City metropolitan area" and emphasizes emotional support, family stability, and intensive personalized instruction. The Graham School works in partnership with the on-site Greenburgh-Graham Union Free School District to provide educational opportunities and therapeutic services to students who have experienced difficulty in previous school settings.
