CCMH is honored to be selected as The Mother Cabrini Health Foundation's grantee. Through this partnership and the work of countless organizations across our state, we are working to support vulnerable communities in each corner of New York. Specifically, this grant will allow CCMH to continue offering free virtual counseling, group counseling, and educational workshops to Black, Latino, and immigrant school-age children in the Bronx. Our mission remains to help them develop coping skills during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a disproportionately negative impact on the mental health of communities of color.
