NEW YORK CITY -- New York City is launching a new mental health treatment model in an effort to bridge the gaps in the mental health care system.It will be launched at nine clinic sites in high-need areas throughout The Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. They are currently accepting referrals.
"New Yorkers struggling with their mental health deserve compassion and support - which is exactly what CONNECT provides," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said."The city is constantly innovating to provide the best possible care for New Yorkers who need it the most and CONNECT will center communities in care and bridge gaps, making sure that more New Yorkers will get the help that they need and don't fall between the cracks of the system.
Unique to this model, each clinic will have a full-time community liaison on that staff that will establish an ongoing relationship between the clinic and its community and identify behavioral health priorities and solutions. Examples of these solutions can include providing walk-in services throughout the day, facilitating referrals and access for justice-involved people, and immediate admission to the clinic for people stepping down from more intensive treatment services.
