OUR MSWS ARE BASED FULL-TIME IN THE SCHOOL AND ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. THEY WORK WITH STUDENTS, FAMILIES, TEACHERS, SCHOOL SUPPORT STAFF, AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ARRIVE TO SCHOOL EACH DAY READY TO LEARN - AND THAT SCHOOLS ARE SAFE, SUPPORTIVE, AND CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING. WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP, WE IDENTIFY THE HIGHEST-NEED STUDENTS, THOSE WITH BEHAVIORAL, ACADEMIC, ATTENDANCE, AND/OR PERSONAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT THEIR ABILITY TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL. OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, GROUP COUNSELING, CLASSROOM INTERVENTIONS, CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, AND HOME VISITS-ALL GROUNDED IN THE PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL). OUR PROGRAMS INCREASE STUDENT ATTENDANCE, ON-TASK BEHAVIOR, AND ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS, IMPROVE TEACHERS' CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT SKILLS, INCREASE TEACHERS' TIME SPENT ON INSTRUCTION, REDUCE SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND SUSPENSIONS, ENGAGE PARENTS AND FAMILIES IN THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION AND INCREASE THEIR TRUST IN OUR CITY'S SCHOOLS, AND ALLOW PRINCIPALS TO SPEND LESS TIME ON DISCIPLINE AND MORE TIME ON ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION, ULTIMATELY CHANGING THE CULTURE OF THE SCHOOL. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SO OUR SERVICES CAN BE TURN-KEYED TO THE SCHOOL. 1615747 CRISIS/TRAUMA COUNSELING AND RESILIENCE TRAINING:MOST OF THE STUDENTS WE WORK WITH ARE GROWING UP IN POVERTY AND THE RELATED CHRONIC CRISIS AND TRAUMA. THUS, PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN HAS DEVELOPED SIGNIFICANT EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES FOR CRISIS-COUNSELING AND RESILIENCE-BUILDING. AFTER SUPERSTORM SANDY, THE DOE AND THE DOHMH CALLED UPON PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN TO ADAPT FEMA'S PROJECT HOPE FOR EFFECTIVE USE IN THE HARDEST-HIT SCHOOLS. WE SENT COUNSELORS INTO TEN SCHOOLS FULL-TIME TO PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND STAFF, AND PIONEERED THE USE OF COMMUNITY COUNSELORS IN SCHOOLS. OUR PROGRAM GAVE US THE CHANCE TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER CBOS AND WE BECAME A MODEL FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK. THE DOE, DOHMH, AND SAMSHA SUBSEQUENTLY REQUESTED THAT WE DEVELOP TRAINING MATERIALS FOR SCHOOL PERSONNEL FOR WIDESPREAD USE. ALL OF THIS WORK GAVE RISE TO OUR WINNING A NEW YORK STATE SOCIAL SERVICES BLOCK GRANT TO WORK IN 22 SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE TRAUMA-INFORMED COUNSELING, CRISIS PLANNING, PARENT ENGAGEMENT, RESILIENCE TRAINING, AND CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT FOR STAFF. 1195549 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:BECAUSE OF PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN'S EXPERTISE IN TRAUMA-INFORMED COUNSELING AND SYSTEMIC CHANGE IN SCHOOLS, WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO CREATE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. THE DOE, THE DOHMH, AND SEVERAL PRINCIPALS AND SUPERINTENDENTS HAVE ASKED US TO CREATE TRAINING CURRICULA FOR SCHOOL STAFF AROUND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING, BUILDING SYSTEMS IN SCHOOLS, ENGAGING PARENTS, AND CRISIS-PLANNING. WE HAVE DEVELOPED EXPERTISE IN DELIVERING TRAINING PROGRAMS AS WELL. 6458685 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 23 0 114 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X X JESSICA PAZ 2126899500 299 BROADWAY NO 1300 NEW YORK NY 10007 PATRICIA SOUSSLOFF PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALAN KLINGER ESQ VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL ROST VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ASHEET MEHTA VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KENNETH MORTENSON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KAREN PIACENTINI SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 THONG NGUYEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT FREEMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY GLATZER DIRECTOR UNTIL 12/13 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS HEILMANN DIRECTOR UNTIL 6/14 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICK NORTH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN RINKER ESQ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEFAN ZELLMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BILL TUCKER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBIN KOVAL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA BOFF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN MALFA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARGARET CROTTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 232538 0 0 MICHAEL LARSON CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.00 X 120203 0 4640 BARBARA CAVALLO ASSOC.

THUS, WE HELP MAKE PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION EFFECTIVE FOR CHILDREN IN HIGH-POVERTY COMMUNITIES, ULTIMATELY BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY.
