Dr. Beverly Logan from the NYC Department of Education explains their crisis support protocol and collaboration with DOHMH in response to traumatic events affecting students and families.
- When an event occurs in a neighborhood or home and is reported to the school, DOE has a crisis support protocol in place
- If a family notifies the principal, DOE reaches out to determine what supports are needed
- DOE collaborates with DOHMH partners if there's an on-site clinic within the school or for referrals outside the school
- There is also a partnership with preventive services through the Administration for Children's Services (ACS) to support families

So, councilor Leominah Lee, if an event occurs in the neighborhood or the home and it's reported to the school, we, on the DOE, on New York City Public Schools side, have a crisis support, protocol in place.

Usually, it's if the family notifies the principal, we reach out to the family, and then we figure out what supports are needed.

We do reach out to our DOHMH partners if there's a on-site clinic within the school or for referrals outside to connect with the families.

We also have a very good partnership with preventive services through ACS, so it's another avenue that, where we support families in that manner.
