Tier NYC

Tier NYC offers trauma informed education supports to students, families, and agencies through services including tutoring, trainings, grant writing assistance, and program development. Our model creates strength-based learning strategies for children who have experienced trauma. Trauma has a profound impact on learning and behavior, and the educational needs of these students can be complex. Reliable, supportive relationships with caring adults can help traumatized children become competent learners: Tier NYC will help to build these positive buffers. Tier NYC provides one on one tutoring that utilizes a strength-based, trauma informed approach. Our tutors support students' learning by relationship building and self-regulation skill development. A critical component for educational success is the development of an informed learning team. To create a trauma sensitive learning environment, key adults in the child's life must be connected, consistent, and compassionate. Through trainings for agency staff, parents, foster parents, and schools, Tier NYC can help build these learning teams by providing comprehensive trauma informed strategies all can use.
