The TYSA coalition is a data-driven collaboration aimed at leveraging the power of collective impact to improve behavioral health outcomes for Staten Island’s youth. Through the lens of equity and inclusion, this project seeks to drive major improvements in youth substance use and mental health prevention, treatment, and recovery on Staten Island. TYSA seeks to:

• Engage diverse communities and constituencies, inclusive of lived experience, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability status and all of the other rich diversity on Staten Island
• Achieve major gains, not minor improvements
• Use clear metrics, at the youth, organization, and system-levels
• Support the success of partner implementers
• Align and improve efforts to achieve greater collective impact
• Avoid reinventing the wheel or duplicating existing existing programs
• Identify and address disparities
• Identify root causes such as adverse childhood experiences, and support community level change
• Create a culture of equity in systems and partnerships
