Cindy Allman Email & Phone Number

As the Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of Newmark, I have a clear understanding of how mental health issues manifest themselves in the classroom and I effectively convey coping strategies for parents and professional educators. At Newmark, I focus on ensuring that students succeed both academically and socially in an atmosphere that holds them accountable for their own achievement, regardless of their mental health disabilities. I've been instrumental in creating and maintaining partnerships with over 65 local school districts in New Jersey to best serve their special needs students. In addition to the leadership role at Newmark, I was a part of the Development leadership team that was responsible for successfully launching a $12 Million Capital Campaign to build a brand-new state of the art facility to better serve students with disabilities.

As President of the Nextmark Foundation, my goal is to expand on the mission of supporting students with special needs in the education environment. As a result, I have spearheaded the Newmark Teacher Training Institute which provides critical teacher training and professional consulting services for schools in the areas of children’s mental health issues and effective behavioral management in the classroom. Most recently, I developed an online course that trains educators across the country to learn more about student mental health and effective strategies that work to support them.
