New York State Mental Health (part of the New York State Office of Mental Health) plays a vital role in promoting mental wellness and providing high-quality behavioral health services to individuals across the state. As a government-operated agency, it supports a comprehensive network of psychiatric centers, outpatient programs, and partnerships with community-based organizations. The Middletown location works to ensure access to equitable and effective mental health care for residents in the region, offering services tailored to children, adults, families, and individuals with serious mental illness.
