Elevate You: Rethinking Youth Mental Health Care in NYC

How do you prevent young people from falling through the cracks when adult life begins?  In this episode of The Remedy, host Dr. Michael Shen sits down with Dr. Rajvee Vora, NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull’s Chief of Behavioral Health; Dr. William Coe, Medical Director for Woodhull’s Elevate You clinic, and Karen Lenard, Vice President of Behavioral Health at MetroPlus Health; and. We take you inside the Elevate You clinics, a place that  keeps 16- to 25-year-olds connected to mental health care, counseling, and provides support during life’s most unpredictable transition. Hear firsthand how Elevate You is disrupting the "aging out" crisis, providing mental health support and other services —like job counseling and creative therapy—that insurance never covers, but every teen needs. Learn about the unique challenges faced by NYC youth, from North Brooklyn’s fast-changing neighborhoods to citywide battles with anxiety, depression, substance use, and housing instability. Discover the impact of collaborative funding, see how the new clinics are reimagining what it means to feel safe, seen, and supported as a young New Yorker, and learn how these health centers might shape the future of mental health in the city. Listen now and find out how Elevate You could change a life.
