<div>A Binghamton youth service provider is one of six receiving funding as part of a $90 million state boost for youth mental health services to help bridge the gap between inpatient and outpatient care.New York's new critical time transition program, announced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul this week, will target kids between the ages of 11-17 and consist of two components, a transitional residential setting and critical time intervention.While the critical time intervention will focus on the transitional period between stays at facilities like emergency departments and psychiatric emergency programs, the transitional residential setting will include housing accommodating up to eight kids for up to 120 days.“By investing in these programs, we can help more children with complex mental health issues get the services they need,” Hochul said in a statement. “New York State is taking a new approach to this issue by providing one-on-one support options locally across the state and in some instances, in a home-like setting where they can receive the level of care they need as they recover.”Over the course of five years, six youth service providers will receive about $14.5 million toward implementing the CTT program, including Children’s Home of Wyoming Conference in Broome County.Each organization will receive $100,000 to address any immediate needs. The remaining funds will go toward the development of a new treatment program set in place by the New York State Office of Mental Health.<h2>What organizations are receiving funding?</h2><ul><li>Northeast Parent and Child in Schenectady County</li><li>ACCESS CNY in Onondaga County</li><li>Hillside in Monroe County</li><li>Rehabilitation Support Services in Orange County</li><li>Essex County ARC in Essex County</li><li>Children's Home of Wyoming Conference in Broome County</li></ul>“The Children’s Home has served our community for decades caring for and supporting youth in need," Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo said in a statement.
