Mental health services in New York City

Article Abstract:

The community-based public mental health services of New York City have faced the challenge of treating deinstitutionalized psychiatric patients for over fifty years. Reinvestment legislation passed in 1993 provided greater resources and state funding to improve the overburdened outpatient and emergency services and develop new self-help and advocacy programs.
