Mental Health & Parent Initiatives

The New York Foundling has been funded by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to offer no-cost trainings in parenting models and interventions to staff in family-serving community-based organizations. This includes trainings geared for social workers, counselors, therapists, peer advocates and other professionals focused on  improving outcomes for families and youth in their communities. Based on a community-led assessment and continued yearly assessments, we will be offering evidence-based practices that address community protective and risk factors. In addition, we are offering other trainings to support with implementing parenting interventions. Browse below for current offerings. We will continue to offer trainings through the year – if you want to keep updated, please join our mailing list!
