  • medication therapy and education
  • crisis intervention
  • educational and vocational skills counseling/job placement
  • referrals to community providers

The clinic operates full day individual and group therapy. An evening clinic is available for people who need access to services outside of our normal business hours.

Psychiatric Outpatient Follow-up Program

This program provides regular psychiatric assessments and follow-up treatments to all registered outpatients. We coordinate medical follow-up appointments either at the clinic or at community providers.

Intensive Case Management (ICM)

The ICM program offers 24/7 intensive individual support. This is available to people who may have demonstrated risk factors and/or have not had success managing community living. Many people in the ICM program have Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) status. We have two ICM Teams:

  • Northern Manhattan
  • Manhattan/Bronx

These teams serve MPC as well as non-MPC eligible adults.

Service for the Treatment and Abatement of Interpersonal Risk (STAIR) Follow-Up Program

The STAIR program includes group treatment as well as intensive follow-up to assess progress in the community. Cognitive skill training is a significant part of the STAIR outpatient treatment.

Bridger/Case Management Program

This program is for individuals discharged from the STAIR program or for non-STAIR patients discharged to MPC’s Transitional Living Residence. The goal is successful transition to more independent, community-based living. Services include support, advocacy, connections and regular follow-ups.

Family Care Program

This program places discharged individuals from Manhattan PC into certified family homes. Potential residents are selected through a process of interviews, screenings, and mutual choice. Family Care can help each person achieve their goals in the community while residing in a private family home type of setting.
