Programs & services

New York runs thousands of mental-health programs — places to live, clinics, crisis help, care coordination, peer support, and more. We've grouped them into ten plain-language categories so you can start from what you need, then narrow by county and who the program is for.

In a crisis right now?

Call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and available 24/7. If someone's life is in danger, call 911.
