SIPCW Projects
SIPCW supports initiatives that treat a person’s well being, from physical wellness to behavioral health, and advocates for improvements on social determinants of health.
Behavioral Health
“Behavioral health” often is used to describe the connection between our behaviors and the health and well-being of the body, mind, and spirit. This includes behaviors such as eating habits, drinking, or exercising that either immediately or over time impact physical or mental health. Learn more about SIPCW’s two behavioral health projects:
Behavioral Health Infrastructure Project (BHIP)
Tackling Youth Substance Abuse (TYSA)
Physical Health
SIPCW’s physical health projects aim to improve health outcomes and prevent chronic illnesses for all Staten Islanders. By encouraging physical activity through access to affordable programs, healthy eating by expanding access to fresh fruits and vegetables and teaching children healthy habits at a young age, Staten Islanders will have a chance to live healthy lives.

Health Equity
In addition to traditional health factors such as behavioral and physical health, SIPCW also focuses on social determinants of health, like violence, housing, how many people in a community graduated from high school or go to jail. Learn more about SIPCW’s health equity project:
