The FIND Shelter project involves implementing group FIND in NYC homeless shelters for caregivers of children 1-3 years of age. The project involves a collaboration between two shelter organizations (Women in Need and CAMBA), NYC Department of Homeless Services, as well as the Strong in Shelter team at NYU Langone. Strong in Shelter targets postpartum depression and is being offered to caregivers with infants. Both programs are utilizing existing shelter staff (i.e. Thrive Client Care Coordinators) to deliver the programs. The project involves four phases: planning and development, feasibility testing, implementation with additional shelter sites, and an outcomes study. Support provided by The Robin Hood Foundation.
Project Period: April 2018 – Present
