- As part of a commitment to address youth mental health statewide, Governor Kathy Hochul has allocated resources for providers to establish an Office of Mental Health-supported mental health clinic satellite at all willing schools.
- School-based mental health clinics are satellite sites or extensions of the main community-based clinic. The satellites are established and operated without costs to schools.
- For more information about satellite operations and funding, please visit the NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) School-Based Mental Health Clinics webpage.
- Schools that are interested in partnering with an OMH clinic provider to establish a school-based mental health clinic can reach out directly to eligible OMH clinic providers or to the OMH to get started.
- If you already know the provider agencies with child/adolescent-serving clinic programs within your district, you can contact them to explore a potential partnership. If you need assistance with locating a clinic, please use this searchable directory to access all OMH-licensed programs by county.
- For additional questions, please contact OMH at omhchildclinics@omh.ny.gov.
