To support a new School Clinical Manager for the Clinics in Schools (CIS) Program to increase the number of students served by behavioral health programming. The CIS Program provides on-site therapeutic services to public school students with unmet behavioral health needs attending 16 NYC public elementary, middle and high schools, and provides extended summer support for recently graduated seniors. This unique program brings clinicians directly to children in schools so as to better ensure that any behavioral and emotional difficulties will not needlessly keep them from thriving. Northside created this position to provide mental health support to an additional 25 students in the Bronx and Harlem, expanding their program from 488 CIS students to at least 513 CIS students. Northside provides NYC’s Black and Latinx youth and families who are at high risk for mental health issues with much-needed psychological, behavioral, social work, and educational resources to better support these youths from birth through high school, and beyond.
