Counseling in Schools

Where Caring Inspires Success CIS is also there in times of crisis with response services designed to help address immediate and secondary trauma.

Counseling in Schools (“CIS”) works to promote the emotional and social growth of children so that they can thrive in school and succeed in life. Through the work of our more than 100 clinical psychologist and certified social workers, CIS helps children deal with issues such as abuse, homelessness, bullying, violence and other concerns. We support students to ensure that they stay in school and have a positive learning experience, and in turn create a calmer classroom environment that benefits all children in a school. We provide targeted programs to administrators, teachers, guidance counselors and other support service providers in the school community, helping those professionals avoid the burnout that is common when working in challenging schools, and supporting administrators trying to turn around failing schools. In response to increasing demand, CIS has quadrupled in size since its inception. We remain committed to our mission and have demonstrated our ability to meet the growing need without compromising quality. CIS is a non-profit 501(c)3 community-based organization, supporting students at risk in New York City public schools. We work with students in their environment, be it their school, home or shelter, and help to build more resilient communities. The value of CIS initiatives is recognized and supported by the New York City Department of Education, United States Federal Emergency Management Association, and the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York.
