New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services Inc

NYAPRS is a statewide coalition of people who use and/or provide recovery oriented community based mental health services. We value difference and promote cultural competence in all aspects of our work. NYAPRS is dedicated to improving services and social conditions for people with psychiatric disabilities or diagnoses, and those with trauma-related conditions by promoting their recovery, rehabilitation and rights so that all people can participate freely in the opportunities of society. Accordingly, they act to:

• Promote the concept and practice of mental health recovery
• Promote the widespread availability of quality recovery-centered rehabilitation and peer support services throughout New York State
• Promote the rights of people with psychiatric disabilities in the struggle against stigma and discrimination both within the mental health system and in the larger community

NYAPRS membership includes over 100 community mental health service agencies that support the efforts of tens of thousands of New Yorkers by providing a wide range of services that share a fundamental belief in the capacity for recovery, healing and independence for every individual with a psychiatric disability.

 

REGIONS

NYAPRS is organized geographically into eight regions. Each region has at least one voting representatives (designated as Regional Coordinators) who sit on the NYAPRS Board of Directors. Regional Coordinators are the grassroots community organizers representing the philosophy, values and mission of NYAPRS at the local level. Our Regional Coordinators present regional concerns to the board, organize monthly regional meetings, assure regional representation on NYAPRS committees and are the primary contact for rallies and other special projects. Contact your regional coordinator for information on events in your area.
