AIP is a non-profit children's mental health and special education agency serving students and their families in the Boston Public Schools. The goal of CWC is to engage mental health providers and funders in building increased and improved school-based capacity to serve the mental health and traumatic stress-related needs of students and families in Boston Public Schools in and around the Grove Hall and Dorchester neighborhoods of Boston. While AIP is the lead agency, clinicians are employees of our partner non-profit children’s mental health agencies.
