Designed to strengthen families, identify mental health and substance use needs early, and provide care and support in your home or community, this New York State Medicaid-eligible program supports children and youth (ages 5-21) facing mental health or substance use challenges.
Services include:
-Therapy: We assess your child’s needs and provide individual, group, or family therapy in a comfortable setting. The focus is on strengths and abilities to promote growth
-Care Planning: We help your child bring therapy into daily life, with support for managing medications. This teaches self-care, coping skills, and strengthens bonds
-Peer Support: We connect you to peers who have faced similar challenges. They help find resources, make informed decisions, and build a strong support system
-Referrals: We find and connect families to their sought-after solutions, linking them to other Vibrant programs for wrap-around holistic care
Location:
We provide in-person services at the family’s home and a hybrid option where we coordinate with families to meet them in their community.
Eligibility Criteria:
- The child or youth is 6-21 years old
- Has active Medicaid coverage
- Lives in the Bronx, Queens, or Manhattan
- The child or youth’s primary area of need relates to their mental health, as opposed to a developmental disability (those needing support for a developmental disability may seek support through OPWDD)
