Early Childhood Mental Health and Wellness Consultant

Originally founded in 1991 as Harlem RBI, DREAM has grown to annually serve more than 2,500 youth across East Harlem and the South Bronx through a network of seven PreK-12, extended-day, extended-year DREAM Charter Schools and community sports-based youth development programs. Through our commitment to rigorous academics, social-emotional learning, deep family and community engagement, and health and wellness, we create lifelong learners who are equipped to fulfill their vision of success in and out of the classroom. We dream big, as well, with an aggressive five-year plan to expand to serve 3,500 students across seven schools—growing our organization’s impact and leveling the playing field for all children.

The Early Childhood Mental Health and Wellness (MHW) Consultant will offer virtual and on-site mental health and wellbeing consultations on program specific matters that support a young child’s mental health. The MHW Consultant provides consultation services that build the capacity of adults in a young child’s life to strengthen and support the mental health and social and emotional development of children. The Mental Health and Wellness Consultant will provide consultation services at the rate of roughly 16-20 hours per month, flexibility based on the needs of the program.   This is a contracted role, not a full-time or part-time employee.
