Partnerships with Schools
Riverside partners with public schools to provide students with mental health support, addiction treatment services, and youth suicide prevention education. We collaborate with school administrators, guidance counselors, teachers, and students to further enhance the school community by providing bullying and violence prevention trainings, depression screenings, and a wide array of services.
School Trainings

Preschool & Daycare Consulting
We provide consultation to preschool and daycare programs by offering support to caregivers of young children. We provide staff consultation, classroom management strategies, and staff trainings to enhance young children’s social and emotional development.
Newton Youth Outreach
Through Newton Youth Outreach (NYO), Riverside clinicians offer therapeutic behavioral healthcare to students, regardless of insurance, primarily onsite at Newton schools during a student’s free periods during the academic day. If school is not the best meeting place, arrangements for times and locations outside of school are possible.
NYO services differ from school counseling and are available to any student who lives or goes to school in Newton.
MindWise Innovations
We offer short-term, non-therapeutic clinical consulting services for individual school staff members, as well as structured and supportive coping groups for teams to process anxiety, stress, or exposure to trauma. Additionally, we teach healthy coping and healing strategies and connect staff to appropriate longer-term care solutions if required.
Our trained responders are also available to help schools through each stage of a crisis, including support for administrators and staff, creating an action plan, and delivering Psychological First Aid and Post-Traumatic Stress Management techniques.
