Mental Health Connect

Finding mental health services can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to start. To help remove barriers to care, DCF designed Mental Health Connect (mentalhealthconnect.nyc.gov) from the ground up as a comprehensive web-based portal that makes it easier to navigate mental health and substance use services from more than 600 providers across NYC.

DCF shaped the portal’s brand, content, structure, and user experience, helping turn a complex network of services into an intuitive and accessible resource for New Yorkers. Designed for people of all ages, the site guides New Yorkers seeking support for themselves, someone they care about, or a client toward services that fit their needs. Users can explore options based on location, availability, language, insurance, and type of care, making it easier to navigate a complex system, understand their options, and take the next step toward getting support.
