Student Voice and Engagement: A Model for Healing-Centered Education
For four years, Partnership with Children set out to test something we’ve always believed: Arts education and mental health support are stronger together than apart.
The Student Voice & Engagement (SVE) program embedded professional teaching artists and licensed clinical social workers side by side in four Brownsville, Brooklyn classrooms. The results speak for themselves.
Explore the research, the stories behind the data, and what Partnership with Children’s model could mean for the next school, the next district, and the next community ready to invest in what their students already have inside them.
