Bronx Latin parents have been asking the school for multiple resources for students beyond academics in the classroom. Here are some resources to help you!
Urban Health Plan Clinic – located on the 1st floor of Bronx Latin. Did you know that we have a full service clinic with real doctors and even dentists available to all students on the 1st floor of the building? All you need to do is make sure that you have filled out the consent paperwork and your child is eligible. If interested please send your student to get the paperwork from Ms. Rosario in room 426.

Mobile Crisis Unit: A mobile crisis team is an interdisciplinary team of mental health professionals (e.g., nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health technicians, addiction specialists, peer counselors). Teams operate under the auspices of voluntary agencies and municipals hospitals. They respond to persons in the community, usually visiting them at home, although their mandate allows them to make contact at other locations. Mobile crisis teams serve any person in New York City who is experiencing, or is at risk of, a psychological crisis, and who requires mental health intervention and follow up support to overcome resistance to treatment. Mobile crisis teams usually are called by family members, neighbors, friends, landlords, clergy or other person(s) concerned about an individual. Mobile Crisis Team staff provide a range of services including assessment, crisis intervention, supportive counseling, information and referrals, linkage with appropriate community based mental health services for ongoing treatment, and follow up. Teams will arrange transportation to emergency rooms if further psychiatric and/or medical assessment and care is indicated.
