This past Tuesday, Senator Robert Jackson and the New York State Senate honored our Executive Director, Yvonne Stennett as a “Woman of Distinction.” Ms. Stennett has made it her life's work to serve the people of Washington Heights, Inwood and Hamilton Heights. Whether it be ensuring a safe, warm place to sleep, providing nourishment to struggling households or simply being an ear to someone who desperately needs one, she has always been present. Her dedication and commitment to our community is a model for future leaders, and we are honored to have her as our “commander in chief." Our heartfelt thanks to Senator Robert Jackson and Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins for this well deserved recognition. Everyone at CLOTH could not be prouder!!!

CLOTH is Looking to Hire a LCSW to Support Patients in a Ground Breaking Stroke Study. See complete job description here: https://lnkd.in/gpHP5pGi CLOTH seeks to hire a LCSW who will be responsible for assessing and counseling participants in a 5-year stroke study. CLOTH is partnering with New York Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia Medical School to conduct the study and The National Institute of Health is the funder. The LCSW will conduct comprehensive psychosocial assessment on each patient enrolled in the study at the initial home visit within 72 hours of discharge. Following this assessment, the LCSW will develop a 1-hour per week plan covering a three-month period for delivering short-term individualized counseling focused on: (1) developing effective coping skills and adjustment to living with stroke; (2) reducing caregiver strain and increasing caregiver capacity; and (3) coping with psychological distress associated with experiences of racism and SDOH. Counseling services will follow Columbia Medical School guidelines for medical social services in the homecare setting which focus on the current medical condition, SDOH, and barriers to Plans of Care. Patients in the intervention arm receiving standard-of-care homecare services will not need a secondary homecare referral for social work services.
