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.
