Featured work
ThriveNYC is an unprecedented, citywide commitment to close critical gaps in mental healthcare. In partnership with 12 city agencies, ThriveNYC’s programs reach people with the highest need – those with serious mental illness, those affected by trauma, and those living in historically under-served neighborhoods. And our programs eliminate barriers to care for all New Yorkers by providing free services in over 200 languages, regardless of insurance or immigration status. Here are some recent highlights.
