PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

CPC is currently seeking dedicated professionals to support a new federally funded Community Recovery & Safety Services (CRSS) program on a one-year term till end of September 2023 with a high possibility of year two/continuation. The CRSS Project has three chief goals: 1) raise AAPI community awareness of health and mental health care needs and available services/resources, including those established to offer relief for pandemic-/economic-related issues; 2) reduce cultural stigma surrounding mental health care and/or reduce/remove barriers to accessing services; and 3) advance efforts to combat anti-Asian violence and reduce the impact of growing insecurity and anxiety among vulnerable Asian Americans that stem from anti-Asian racism.

This program offers case management, mental health screenings, health and wellness-related trainings, psycho-educational workshops, individual counseling, group support services, and more. This program is geared towards the broad community of youth, families, and seniors who have been impacted by the traumatic nature of the pandemic, the anti-Asian violence that has more than doubled in recent years in NYC, and to ensure all who need additional support are able to access them in a culturally and linguistically accessible setting that meet their needs. The goal is to reduce the stigma around mental health and empower community members with the assets, resources, and skills needed to recover from the pandemic and return to meaningful home, community, education, and work life.
