Integrative Mental Wellness Model
A new, transformative school-based mental health program
We work in the largest school district in the U.S. (New York City Public School District), serving our students through innovative mental wellness services. We believe mental health access must be diverse and incorporate children from all cultural and racial identities, languages, faiths, and lived experiences. Our approach focuses on access to wellness spaces, ranging from traditional therapy to narrative/talk therapy, circles of healing, integration of the arts, and restorative circles.
“We believe that mental health is a right that every child deserves."
- Shanequa Moore, CEO of I'RAISE
