Partnership with Children runs three separate but complementary programs for at-risk children, adolescents and the teaching and administrative staff that serve them:

OPEN HEART - OPEN MIND Open Heart - Open Mind is a school-based early intervention, preventive services and counseling program for at-risk children in New York City public schools. Our teams of professional social workers work in the schools throughout the year, providing services that improve the emotional, social and cognitive development of children at-risk of failing in school.

CENTER FOR CAPACITY BUILDING The Center for Capacity Building, established in 2005, offers professional development and training, as well as an Open Heart - Open Mind replication model for urban school success. We work directly with school staff to facilitate capacity building and provide them with the knowledge and skills necessary to help inner city youth increase their potential for academic successs.

LIFE STEPS Life Steps is a counseling and preventive services program for Brooklyn children and adolescents up to age 19 at risk of being removed from their families due to abuse, neglect or family break-up. Our staff of professional social workers and counselors offer individual, family and group counseling services to prevent school dropout, strengthen families and help adolescents deal with overwhelming stresses in their lives such as teen pregnancy, early-age parenting and entry into the workforce.
