Mission: Partnership with children works in schools in communities across new york city, providing critical supports and mental health services for students and families, to ensure that schools are safe, supportive, and conducive to learning for all students.
Programs: Community schools:following the national community school strategy, partnership with children builds partnerships between schools and community resources and integrates academics, health and social services, youth and community development and community engagement. We establish and manage the community schools program, always alongside our integrated student supports, individual counseling, small group counseling and trauma-informed care so each of our 14 community schools benefit from the expanded mental health and behavioral supports that are core to our mission. Pwc is among the most active organizations in the nyc initiative.
comprehensive school-based mental health services:we placed masters-level social workers into 17 district public schools in underserved communities in new york city. Our staff are based full-time in the school, providing individual and group counseling, classroom interventions, case management, and home visits - all grounded in social-emotional learning (sel) and trauma-informed care. Our programs increase student wellness, attendance, on-task behavior, and achievement levels; improve teachers' classroom management skills and increase their time spent on instruction; reduce violence and suspensions; engage parents and families; and ultimately change the culture of the school.
out-of-school-time programs:partnership with children runs out-of-school time (ost) programs to increase student engagement and school connectedness, increase social-emotional skills, increase college readiness, and improve relationships with peers and adults. We direct after-school and summer programs at four schools where we also provided comprehensive programming during the school day, extending students' social-emotional learning outside the traditional school day and classroom setting and enabling us to build stronger relationships with students and families.
