NYC Health + Hospitals has expanded its youth mental health program, Caring Transitions, to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi in the Bronx.
This program aims to support the growing mental health crisis with a focus on patients who have attempted suicide or present suicidal behavior, according to a July 15 news release.
Originally launched last year at the Elmhurst and Queens locations, the $2.4 million program expanded to NYC Health + Hospitals’ Lincoln location earlier this year.
NYC Health + Hospitals has plans to expand to a fifth site at its North Central Bronx location later this year. The municipally run hospital provides around 60% of the behavioral health services delivered in New York City, according to the news release.
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.
