Why Now
NYC is at a tipping point. A new mayoral administration and historic levels of mental health investment create a once-in-a-generation window to reset the agenda.
We’ve already invested $3M in 18 nonprofits and surveyed 25+ principals. These early pilots give us a data-driven sense of what’s failing—and what shows real promise.
Now, we’re ready to scale proven insights and reshape how NYC supports its students.
By 2027, We Aim To:
Publish and drive adoption of the NYC School Mental Health Blueprint
Secure policy changes and mandates for evidence-based programs
Redirect millions in public dollars toward prevention
Establish a replicable model for urban school systems nationwide
Your support fuels innovation that transforms school mental health.
Join us in building a smarter, prevention-first system for NYC students.
