INVESTED | 2022-2023 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY6 <br />Changing <br />to Meet <br />Community <br />Needs <br />Since our start in 1976, <br />NYFS has collaborated with <br />our community to meet current <br />and emerging needs. We <br />continue this commitment <br />to growing, changing, and <br />adapting our work to ensure <br />a high level of care for all. <br />Expanding our Impact in Schools & Municipalities <br />NYFS is pleased to welcome St. Anthony-New Brighton School District as a new partner with <br />NYFS to provide school-based care to its students starting in the 2023-2024 school year. The <br />district joins the Mounds View, Roseville and White Bear Lake districts to provide support to <br />students across 12 schools in four districts. <br />Our school-based services provide mental health support to students during the school day. <br />These site-based, embedded services ensure continuity of care for the youth, many of whom <br />would not be able to regularly access this level of care outside of their school. <br />“This is so powerful because not only do we work with the youth, we also have an impact <br />on adults,” adds Sway Gutierez, a therapist working within the St. Anthony-New Brighton School <br />District. She notes that offering mental health services in schools helps destigmatize seeking <br />and receiving support for everyone. Together we are working to provide greater opportunities <br />for learning and healing to happen for students, staff, and our community. <br />NYFS Partners with Arden Hills <br />Municipal partnerships have been a cornerstone of NYFS’ work in the community since our <br />start with 10 city partners in 1976. We’ve expanded our partnership since then and are excited <br />to welcome the City of Arden Hills back to NYFS as a municipal partner with a long history of <br />collaboration with NYFS. <br />“The City of Arden Hills’ vision is for a strong community, and NYFS’ <br />mission to provide mental health services that cultivates community, <br />makes this a natural partnership. As a NYFS board member, a city <br />council member, and a mom, I truly value NYFS’ work to support the <br />mental health of our youth.” <br /> – Emily Rousseau, City Council Member, City of Arden Hills <br />community- <br />centered committed& <br />Offering <br />mental health <br />services in <br />schools helps <br />destigmatize <br />seeking and <br />receiving <br />support for <br />everyone.
