Our Mission
The SIMHS is a century-old, not-for-profit children’s services
agency. Our mission is to diagnose and treat emotional, behavioral,
organic, and developmental problems; to create and support programs
and environments that reduce the risk of disability and advance the
optimal development of children; to increase our knowledge of the
causes and treatments of mental illness and developmental impairment;
and to promote public awareness of, and support for, the value and
availability of our services.
Each Year:
- We serve one-in-ten Staten Island families
- We treat over 5,000 individuals
- We conduct 175,000 child and family evaluation
and treatment sessions
- We deliver services at 25 sites, by 300
professional and support staff
- Our volunteers donate over 50,000 hours of
service
To the Children We Say...
“We are your friend, your voice, your advocate,
and your ally.
We are here when you need us.”
