Yonkers Counseling Program for the Archdiocese of New York Catholic Schools
Catapult Learning is excited to partner with the Archdiocese of New York in Yonkers to provide counseling services to kindergarten thru eighth grade students and their teachers and families.
Services
School counseling and social work services will be provided throughout Yonkers schools to support students, teachers, parents, and administration. The goal of the program is in line with the mission of our schools; educating the whole child-mind, body, and spirit. Parent and Teacher workshops will be a vital part of the program.
