How to Get Help
The system is complex but resources do exist. Here's where to start:
You can find contact info for counseling in the school’s Counseling Plan (PDF).If your child’s school has called 911 on them because of emotional distress, and you’re concerned about the response, reach out to Advocates for Children’s Education Helpline at 866-427-6033. You can also reach out to your district’s superintendent.
If your child is in distress, you can text "WELL" to 65173 or call 888-NYC-WELL (888-692-9355), NYC’s free confidential helpline.
You can reach suicide prevention and substance use disorder counselors by dialing 988.
Several local organizations provide telehealth services using health insurance, Medicaid, or a sliding scale for billing. The education department compiled a list of providers here.
We build tools like this one to help New Yorkers navigate life in the city. If this project helped you, let us know how.

About the Data
Data current as of the 2021-2022 school year except for NYPD "child in crisis" calls, which are from 2016 through 2022.
This tool includes information on 1,575 public schools about which we could determine both location and guidance counselor information. We do not include charter schools because there is less data available.
2021-22 Guidance Counselor data, 2021-22 Demographic data, 2021 Temporary Housing data, 2020-21 Attendance data, and School Location Information are from the NYC Open Data web portal.
2022 NYC School Survey data is from the Department of Education website. We only show School Survey data when schools reported a survey response rate above 25%.
Child-In-Crisis Calls data is from the New York Police Department. We cleaned the data and matched each NYPD-reported school campus name to the school district-borough-number (DBN) identifier assigned by NYC Public Schools. Some NYPD Child-In-Crisis reports were not identifiable with an existing school or pointed to school buildings that contain several schools. Those numbers have been excluded from this analysis. All data, including a crosswalk between the NYPD school name and DBN, are available on Github.
During the first two quarters of 2016, the NYPD reported child-in-crisis calls only in cases where students were restrained with handcuffs. Data for those quarters may therefore be lower than it would be if reporting was the same as in later time periods.
