PGC Makes California School-Based Health Alliance’s Peer-to-Peer Hub Resource List

We are thrilled to have CSS's Peer Group Connection (PGC) included as a part of the California School-Based Health Alliance's Peer-to-Peer Resource Hub, designed to help schools as they seek to develop high quality, youth-centered, equity-focused peer-to-peer programs in schools.


The resources showcase various approaches and models, illustrating the flexibility and adaptability of school-based peer-to-peer programs that bolster student well-being and strengthen the comprehensive school mental health system.

CSS Community School Forums

Throughout June, CSS's 29 Community Schools throughout New York City and Jersey City hosted a series of vibrant Community School Forums, celebrating the importance of student belonging and community engagement.


The events, which included themes such as community socials, cookouts, mental health symposiums, talent shows, and field days, all highlighted the talents and contributions of our students, showcasing their achievements and fostering a sense of belonging.


Each school team decided the focus of their event, but all centered around fostering a sense of belonging among students, caregivers, educators, and local stakeholders, engaging in meaningful conversations about enhancing school climate, improving student support services, and fostering stronger community partnerships.
