Behavioral Health

NYAP offers a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health treatment programs designed to strengthen and empower youth and families.

We meet children, youth, and families where they are and harness the power of voice and choice as an essential component of our programs. In collaboration with individuals and families, we identify specific treatment goals to help individuals and families solve problems, enhance communication, and increase their level of functioning.

Through our behavioral health treatment programs, individuals and families are supported in overcoming their challenges and able to lead more fulfilling lives.
