About The Center

The Coalition's Center for Rehabilitation and Recovery provides consultation to New York City's community mental health providers through expert training, technical assistance, information dissemination and special projects. Funded primarily by the New York State Office of Mental Health, The Center guides and promotes systemic change toward the integration of rehabilitation and recovery-enhancing services within New York City's mental health care sector.

Five Major Goals Guide our Projects and Activities:

1. Increase program capacity to deliver recovery-oriented services in New York City through enhancing the competency of the mental health workforce.
2. Provide behavioral health agencies, consumers and other stakeholders with the most current information on evidence-based practices, psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery.
3. Establish strategic alliances and learning collaboratives between behavioral health providers, consumers, and governmental agencies.
4. Introduce and pilot new approaches to mental health service delivery through the integration of rehabilitation and recovery principles and existing treatment modalities.
5. Design and implement organizational change initiatives tailored to the specific needs of the New York City behavioral health care community.
