Mental Health Continuity of Care as a Solution for Violence Interruption (MHCCSVI) Program

It truly takes a village to raise a child. That’s why the Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU) has partnered with Duquesne University, CVI Leader Lee Davis, GritX creators Scalable Care and mySHO to launch the Mental Health Continuity of Care as a Solution for Violence Interruption (MHCCSVI) Program. The mission of the MHCCSVI program is to provide easily accessible, evidence-based mental health support to students within the 43 AIU school districts. This program aims to tackle the growing mental health crisis among youth, exacerbated by issues like anxiety, isolation, gun violence, and limited access to mental health professionals.

See it, believe it.

GritX is a valuable resource for professional therapists, practitioners, and counselors (TPC). Empowered by its ability to “speak” 92 languages, it creates increased connections between TPC’s and their patients, provides valuable feedback and data, and force multiplies their ability to have meaningful engagements with as many patients as possible, available 24/7/365.
