Accomplishments
Highlights:
Our program has been successful in not only providing services to youth and their families, but also to staff within the school by maintaining an environment of support. Our range of services have increased from mental health, vocational, and substance abuse counseling to adding a peer tutoring program, a pregnant/parenting group, a social skills group, and a nutrition group. The board of education (our program is not managed by the Board of Education, but is funded through the State Department of Children and Families), which was once hostile toward our program, has now embraced and included us as a valuable service provider for its students.Companies I like:
St. Barnabas Healthcare System, Liberty Healthcare System, University of Medicine and Dentistry of Newark
