Now Recruiting: STRONG Behavioral Health Program

NY School-Based Health Foundation is pleased to announce funding granted by the New York Community Trust for a 2-year program to support School-Based Health Centers in serving newcomer students in the downstate region.

 

The program will provide training and site-specific coaching in the use of an evidence-based modality known as STRONG (Supporting Transition Resilience in Newcomer Groups) which focuses on the adversity and trauma experienced by newcomers during transitions of migration and settlement in new schools and communities. 

A video about STRONG and additional information is available here. 

Training sessions for STRONG begin in mid-September. If your organization is still interested in participating, please fill out and submit the application linked below ASAP and we may be able to accommodate you. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to Lisa Perry, NYSBHF Director, at Lisa.Perry@NYSBHFoundation.org.
