PASE and Child Mind are partnering to support CBOs in bolstering mental health support for youth and families. This unique and free opportunity offers comprehensive training, a curriculum, coaching, and peer support.

The program is designed to give staff the tools to deliver the Mental Health Skill-Building curriculum and promote students’ individual growth and resilience. CBO staff will learn to implement six modules that help students better understand and regulate their emotions, evaluate thoughts, make choices about their behavior, interact effectively with others, and use mindfulness practices to navigate stressful situations.

Applications for the fall cohort will open August 2024

To be eligible to apply, you must:

  • Be located in Lower Manhattan (or serve youth and families that live in Lower Manhattan)
