What We Do

NYAPRS is a statewide coalition of people who use, provide, and/or support recovery-oriented mental health services.  We act to promote the concept and practice of mental health recovery, and the rights of people with psychiatric disabilities. As members of the New York CIty region we come together to advocate for a systemwide reorientation towards recovery and rehabilitation. We reach out to all communities to support us in our recovery focused movement.

COMMUNITY  ACCESS has been a pioneer in providing innovative housing, on-site support services, and employment opportunities for adults with psychiatric disabilities for 36 years. We also remain focused on empowering the mental health community through advocacy and community involvement.
