We are pleased to share the Annual Report of the Boston Children’s Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships Program (BCHNP) for the 2018-2019 school year. Last school year, BCHNP partnered with 17 schools, providing behavioral health services to over 1,300 students, as well as providing over 50 professional development workshops and over 1,400 hours of training and consultation to Boston school staff. The Clough Foundation Training and Access Project (TAP) has worked with 25 schools to date, and TAP Online, our free training series for educators, now presents 5 online workshops.
We would like to thank the many partners and supporters of our program, specifically the youth and families that we connect with in schools. We thank our BCHNP team who is dedicated and committed to working in collaborative partnerships with the community. We are grateful for the support of Boston Children’s Hospital. Lastly, we thank the philanthropic donors and foundations for supporting and sustaining our work and allowing us to provide supports targeted to the needs of Boston youth and their families when and where they need them the most. We would not be able to do this work without your generous support.
With gratitude,
