School-Based Partnership Programs
The Partnership Program is a school-based mental health and school consultation program targeting Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students. The Partnership Program works in partnership with students, families, and teachers with the goal of fostering academic, personal and social successes for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children and youth, and enhancing the strengths of students and their families towards improved communications.
The first Partnership Program began in San Francisco in 1995 at a San Francisco Elementary School with classes for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students. In 1997, due to the success of the program, it was expanded to cover two classrooms at the same school site.
In 2000, the program was expanded to San Mateo County through funding from Peninsula Community Foundation. The San Mateo Partnership Program works in collaboration with four public schools in San Mateo County, from Elementary through High School grades.
Both programs continue to address the needs of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students, family members, and teachers. Services include individual and family counseling, crisis intervention, parent support groups, and consultation with school staff.
In the fall of 2001, the San Mateo Partnership Program expanded to include infant and early childhood programs in San Mateo County through funding from Morris Stulsaft Foundation. These early intervention services include parenting groups, play/communication groups, crisis intervention, family community activities, and teacher consultation.
Currently, we do not have funding for our Partnership Program. However, some of our clinical services provides services for students at school sites.
