Exploring Opportunities to Advance Behavioral Health Services in NYC
Through the generous support of The Carmel Hill Fund, the TEAM UP Center undertook a project to explore opportunities to advance behavioral health services in New York City (NYC). We completed a practice-level needs assessment coupled with a system-level landscape analysis and stakeholder interviews to produce the NYC TEAM UP Roadmap. As a private foundation, The Carmel Hill Fund is focused on helping young people, especially those growing up in vulnerable circumstances, become voracious readers who also have the skills, relationships, nurturing environments, and supports to become emotionally thriving adults. The project was designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the NYC environment and identify potential opportunities for TEAM UP to contribute to the city’s response to the children’s mental health crisis. A summary of this work is outlined in the NYC TEAM UP Roadmap.
