Mental health care including therapy and wellness services for underserved children and adults - nazareth proposes to increase access to mental health services in our region through inter-professional mental health clinics created from integrating and scaling up behavioral/mental health services currently provided on campus through the york wellness & rehabilitation institute. The york institute is the umbrella for clinical education for nazareth's health and human services programs in art therapy, music therapy, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, and speech-language pathology. Certified and licensed clinical educators mentor student clinicians in the provision of therapy and wellness services as part of their development of clinical knowledge and skills. The york institute provides thousands of hours of free services annually in a constellation of allied health clinics to underserved populations from neighborhoods throughout monroe and surrounding counties, with several individual clinics providing behavioral/mental health services. A new integrated model for child and adolescent mental health services will include art therapy, music therapy, nursing, play therapy, and social work services.
