Turnaround for Children
Turnnaround for Children (formerly Children’s Mental Health Alliance) began addressing the emotional needs of children and their families throughout New York City in the wake of the September 11th, 2001 tragedy. Turnaround for Children, under the direction of Dr. Pamela Cantor, formed The Partnership for Recovery in the New York City Schools along with the New York City Board of Education. The immediate aim of the Partnership was recovery from the 9/11 tragedy, but the needs it addressed were both long-term and universal. While the Partnership was able to boost the capacity of schools and communities to respond to the emotional needs of children at a time of crisis, it realized that these needs continue to arise in the daily lives of children in many New York City communities. The Turnaround Model is a comprehensive approach dedicated to meeting the needs of these children.
