We have established a partnership with McLean Hospital’s School Consultation Service. This consultation service is dedicated to empowering schools, organizations, and their communities to promote the positive mental health of their students. McLean joined our Y In preparation for summer camp and conducted a thorough needs assessment with our camp leaders and inclusion specialists.

Using the data gathered they trained nearly 300 staff in-person and by video to better support the mental health of our campers and staff themselves. To ensure the training was integrated into the summer camp experience, the McLean team met with camp teams every week for discussion and support throughout the camp season.
