History of the agency

 

The Park Slope Center for Mental Health (PSCMH) was formed in 1983 as Elder/Family Services to provide mental health and care management services to older people, their families and caregivers.  In 1989, Elder/Family Services was licensed by the NYS Office of Mental Health to provide out-patient clinic treatment services to adults, with a specialty in geriatrics.  From 1989 to 1996, the agency expanded considerably and broadened its focus to include non-elderly adults, caregivers, and families, while maintaining its geriatric specialty.  Because of this broadened patient population, the agency name was changed to the Park Slope Center for Mental Health in 1996.

 

In January 2006, Park Slope Center for Mental Health amended its operating certificate to provide services to adults, children and families in the Borough of Brooklyn.  Treatment services are provided at 348 13th Street and through home visits to all neighborhoods in Brooklyn. 

 

PSCMH uses various treatment modalities and integrates current theoretical approaches.  Experienced clinicians serve as staff members, consultants, members of the advisory board, and members of the Board of Directors.  PSCMH staff works with all of its clients toward the integration and resolution of developmental tasks and goals.  This perspective can be, and is, used for treatment planning for individuals at all functional levels:  from seriously cognitively-impaired individuals whose goals and tasks may have to be simplified, to higher functioning individuals who may have greater than imagined opportunities for growth and creativity.
