Community Based, Culturally Competent, Rapid Access

BHNYC member agencies provide rapid access to treatment

Behavioral Health New York City (BHNYC) IPA is a community-focused behavioral health network whose members operate mental health and substance use clinics and substance use residential services. BHNYC member agencies share a history of offering rapid access to behavioral health services that are embedded in the community and delivered by culturally competent and linguistically diverse clinicians.

In 2018, several members of the Federation of Mental Health Services came together to form the BHNYC IPA, through the New York State Behavioral Health Care Collaborative Program. These founding members built upon the work they had already accomplished to assure that the unique voice of local, community-based providers would continue to be recognized.
