Increased need for mental health services as a result of the pandemic <br />has created a waitlist that is three times as long as our current capacity.

In contrast, we keep ours open and are <br />successfully recruiting new staff to build capacity while reducing barriers and finding new ways to reach people <br />-true to our community-based mission. <br />Please describe the purpose/mission of your non -profit: The mission of NYFS is: <br /> “Transforming lives by ensuring access to care that nurtures healing, cultivates community, and inspires hope.” <br />As the only nonprofit mental health agency in the municipalities we serve, NYFS is a critical asset for the <br />community, the primary resource for mental health referrals and services, and the trusted partner for the <br />bedrock local public institutions (schools, cities, law enforcement) that impact everyone in our service area.
