Intensive and Sustained Engagement Team (INSET) is available to individuals 18 years or older who live in the Hudson Valley and have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, have experienced multiple hospitalizations, and/or have a history of incarceration or substance abuse. INSET is a peer-led model that provides rapid, intensive, flexible and sustained interventions to those for whom prior programs of care and support have been ineffective. INSET provides linkages to formal supports and services and assists individuals in connecting with their natural supports--families, friends and larger social networks.

New: INSET is expanding services to provide support in Westchester, Rockland, Orange and Sullivan counties.

The INSET team, which focuses on providing mobile supports by meeting people in the community in a location that they choose, offers services and referrals where and when they are needed.

People may self-refer; referrals are also accepted from friends and family and local health and human service organizations. For more information, please contact Raquelle Bender at 914-330-4666 or benderr@mhawestchester.org.
