ABC’s Fast Break Mobile Mental Health Services has been extending crucial mental health services to children living in poverty for more than two decades. Led by our highly-skilled, Board-certified child psychiatrists, ABC’s Fast Break provides a full range of mental health services and an array of therapeutic modalities including family therapy, individual psychotherapy, play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and group therapy.

ABC's mental health service model is multi-faceted, serving children from early childhood to 21 years old:

  • Fast Break offers 13 children's mental health clinics, one of which is a designated Early Childhood Therapeutic Center.

  • The Children’s Mobile Crisis Team provides rapid crisis intervention to children anywhere in Manhattan via the citywide 24/7 hotline 988, keeping children out of costly, restrictive institutions.

  • School-Based Mental Health Services teams conduct on-site crisis intervention, broad-based mental health screening, individual and group therapy, and capacity-building training for faculty and parents in 21 New York City public schools.

  • Fast Break + offers extended, home-based treatment, services, and case management for the most vulnerable, marginalized, and at-risk children and families—those who struggle even to leave their beds, and who are considering suicide, have harmed themselves or others, or are at high risk of doing so.
