Jawonio will move its current services to the new 8,000-square-foot facility in Nanuet, N.Y.

Funding comes from a $658 million initiative to support 127 healthcare-related projects throughout the state and will go toward Jawonio’s Personalized Recovery Oriented Services program. 

PROS currently helps 200 individuals dealing with behavioral health challenges including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression and substance abuse, as well as dually diagnosed clients, including those with a developmental disability and mental health diagnosis.

It also provides services for employment opportunities and job creation for dually diagnosed adults.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
