Astor to Participate in Exciting New Initiative

November 24, 2014

"This will give our staff badly needed expertise and resources to keep youth in our care from risks,” said Dr. Suzanne Button, Astor Services for Children & Families Assistant Executive Director, Quality & Clinical Outcomes.

This past summer, Astor’s outpatient clinic and Adolescent Day Treatment programs were selected, from a competitive, national group of provider applicants, to participate with 28 other agencies in the National Council for Behavioral Health’s “Reducing Adolescent Substance Abuse Initiative.”

As past of this learning and implementation initiative, funded by the Conrad Hilton Foundation, a core group of leaders from Astor’s Hudson Valley Outpatient Clinics, the Highbridge Outpatient Clinic (in the Bronx), and the Adolescent and Middle School Day Treatment programs in the Hudson Valley, have been participating in statewide work groups, national Web-based training and social media communication initiatives.
