School Support Services - Model for Mental Health
Para Los Niños, is a community-based organization serving the Skid row community. The Caring Community Initiative was launched to prevent violence and cultivate safe, inclusive classrooms at its three charters. Our education model centralizes student safety by providing integrated educational, mental health, and family support services. The initiative expanded our current Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports by adopting systems, training, and services that integrate violence prevention best practices. Learn more about our School Support Services Model, our signature strategy to support the mental health of our scholars.
