Education

The purpose of the Coordinated Children’s Service Initiative (CCSI) is to advance the development of a system of care for children and youth with mental health challenges in New York City.  A system of care is defined as a comprehensive spectrum of mental health and other necessary services which are organized into a coordinated network to meet the multiple and changing needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional, social and behavioral challenges and their families.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a groundbreaking public education program that teaches individuals the skills needed to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges or crises.  Learn more.
