Supporting Student Wellbeing: NYC Mental Health Conference Returns

Counseling In Schools (CIS) is pleased to announce the highly anticipated return of its impactful conference dedicated to school-based mental health initiatives. This year’s event promises a comprehensive exploration of the crucial mental health and social-emotional support systems currently operating within New York City schools. Recognizing the increasing need for robust youth mental health services, CIS aims to foster collaboration and shared learning amongst dedicated professionals.

The two-day conference will feature a varied group of experts, offering insights into innovative approaches and best practices. Attendees will discover practical strategies tailored for immediate implementation in real-world clinical and youth service settings. The focus will be on strengthening the resilience of young individuals and their families through evidence-based interventions.

Professional Development & Continuing Education Opportunities

This conference provides a valuable opportunity for professionals to connect with peers serving the New York Metropolitan area. Participants will engage in dynamic sessions designed to encourage active involvement and meaningful dialogue. The curriculum emphasizes equipping clinicians and educators with actionable tools to enhance their work with students.

A significant benefit of attending is the potential to earn up to 13 CEUs – Continuing Education Units – essential for maintaining credentials for LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker), LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LCAT (Licensed Creative Arts Therapist), and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) professionals. These credits support ongoing professional growth and demonstrate a commitment to providing high-quality care.

Collaborative Strategies for Youth Mental Health

The event will showcase the work of clinicians and educators from diverse therapeutic and pedagogical backgrounds. Presenters will share their experiences and expertise, highlighting successful models for supporting student wellbeing. Attendees can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities present in contemporary school environments.

Ultimately, the conference seeks to cultivate a sense of community and shared purpose among those dedicated to uplifting young people. By sharing perspectives and fostering collaborative interventions, CIS hopes to empower professionals to create positive change in the lives of students and families.
