In this very challenging time in New York City, CASES’ programs continue to operate, with most services delivered remotely via phone and video and using online platforms. CASES’ services that are still accepting referrals and enrolling new clients include mental health clinic treatment, care management, family therapy, and youth employment and education services. Please see below for program details and contact information.
NATHANIEL CLINIC
Make a referral: Complete this form, call the office at (212) 553-6708, or email medicalschedulersnc@cases.org.
CASES’ Nathaniel Clinic continues to accept intakes, admit clients, and provide services, with a focus on individuals transitioning from inpatient and institutional settings, including those being released from hospitals, inpatient treatment, and jails and prisons
Most clinic services are now being delivered by phone or video. The clinic offers immediate availability for services such as psychiatric assessments along with help, as needed, for obtaining Medicaid. Clinic services currently available include: initial and psychiatric assessment, individual counseling, individual psychiatry, and health monitoring.
While the Nathaniel Clinic typically serves clients primarily residing in or near Harlem, the shift to telephonic counseling and therapy is bringing the clinic’s services to youth and adults citywide. Medication administration continues to be offered onsite at the clinic office in Central Harlem, along with the use of phones for clients who do not have one so they can engage in services with clinic staff.

FAMILY THERAPY: ADOLESCENT PORTABLE THERAPY (APT)
Make a referral: Contact Eric Kolb, LMSW, at (646)937-1109 or ekolb@cases.org.
APT is a flexible, in-home family therapy model that specifically serves justice-involved youth age 12-24 and their families.

The program is well designed to help families facing relational and other challenges who are now spending extensive time at home together.
