Counseling in Schools

Counseling in Schools is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1986 with its primary focus to make a difference in NYC School communities by providing emotional and social well-being. As an organization, we build on the strengths of school communities to inspire hope and promote healing daily in our schools all over NYC. Our staff includes over 100 mental health professionals and youth development specialists, all dedicated to anti-racist, anti-oppressive, healing-centered practices. Our counselors are embedded in schools for the entire school year, becoming an essential part of the fabric of learning and support.

Counseling In Schools currently provides New York City schools support for 7,000 students in 94 programs and community shelters. 
Professional development services include peer support to affirm the strengths of teachers and administrators in their commitment to education. 

As Lead Community Based Organization (CBO) at PS/MS 007, we are committed daily throughout the school year to providing counseling services, success mentoring, family resource assistance, and collaboration with all of the community-based organizations in our building to help strengthen our school community further.
