About Us

Mount Sinai Morningside CMA is part of the greater Mount Sinai Hospital network. Prior to becoming a CMA our program was established as the sole Manhattan based Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver program under the NY State Office of Mental Health. As an HCBS Waiver program, we were designated to provide intensive in-home community based supports to seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) children, youth and their families. With the roll out of Health Homes, our team took decades of extensive experience in the delivery and management of mental health services and created a children’s CMA which specializes in working with children and adolescents who struggle with mental health challenges. Our expertise in this field allows us to serve our families with a superior level of professional knowledge and community resources.

Due to our linkage with Mount Sinai Hospital, we are fortunate to be connected to an expansive network of medical and mental health providers. As part of the Child and Family (CFI) Institute, we partner with our own internal outpatient mental health services and Child and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS) program, which offers Family Peer Support Services (FPSS), Other Licensed Professional (OLP) and CPST (Community Psychiatric Supports and Treatment), the CARES program – a therapeutic day program for SED youth and the Parent Infant Center (PIC). Additionally, we were awarded 9 non-Medicaid care management slots by Department of Health Mental Health (DOHMH) and provide ongoing care management to these families as well. In our Health Home program we have approximately 250 members receiving services from Care Managers, many of whom are licensed Social Workers, trained in evidenced-based treatment.

Our approach to care management is both holistic and individualized. Our philosophy uses the Child Adolescent Services Systems Principles (CASSP) to focus on the strengths and needs identified by the families. In collaboration with a child and families’ home community and systems, we offer strength-based, child-specific and culturally competent care which emphasizes the need for services in the least restrictive setting possible. We understand how critical it is to identify and treat children and families’ complex psychosocial and health issues in the earliest possible stages. Due to the complex mental health needs of our members, we believe a strong clinical foundation is crucial for providing exemplary care coordination.
