Residential & Employment Services

Residential & Employment Services

The Mental Health Association of Westchester offers a variety of residential and employment services for adults who have been diagnosed with behavioral health conditions and provides resources to help them gain meaningful employment and lead independent lives. 

Residential Services

Our transitional housing Apartment Treatment Program helps individuals achieve personal goals and obtain permanent housing with the help of residence counselors who can assist with managing medications, accessing health services, developing social networks and strengthening daily living skills. Individuals who meet homelessness requirements as outlined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development may seek housing through our Supportive Housing/ Rental Assistance Program units, where they have the opportunity to work with a housing specialist to develop skills such as managing personal finances, negotiating with their landlord and accessing community resources. Supportive Housing residents may remain in these permanent housing units and receive our support as long as needed. 

MHA cannot accept referrals for residential services directly; requests must be made through the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health. Download the application form here or call 914-995-5220.

For more information on our Residential Services, please contact Ruthanne Becker at 914-345-5900, ext. 7510 or beckerr@mhawestchester.org.

Employment Services

Through a recovery-oriented approach which utilizes the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model, MHA’s Employment Services help individuals with behavioral health conditions prepare for, choose and maintain employment. Our 10-day Diagnostic Vocational Evaluation program assesses a person’s readiness for vocational rehabilitation and may result in a referral for educational or employment services. The Work Readiness Program helps individuals prepare for workplace success through building job-seeking and interview skills while developing and enhancing work experience and employment “soft skills.” Individuals who have not worked or who have had limited success in prior jobs may benefit from our Supported Employment service, which develops individualized employment plans and provides assistance integrating employment and wellness. We also have Employment Specialists on hand to help individuals obtain – and retain – employment through our Direct Placement Services; Job-Seeking and Development Services; and Job Placement and Retention Services. 
 

For more information, please contact Danielle Ramachandran at ramachad@mhawestchester.org or 914-305-7790.
