Project TEACH is a program funded by the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH).
OMH operates psychiatric centers across the State, and also regulates, licenses and oversees more than 4,500 programs, which are operated by local governments and nonprofit agencies. These programs include various inpatient and outpatient programs, emergency services, community support, residential and family care programs.
The Statewide Coordination Center (SCC)
The SCC directs how Project TEACH operates, grows, and serves as a resource for health and prevention science. The Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy is the entity that operates the SCC.
Regional Providers
The regional providers lead the delivery of Project TEACH services. They are the psychiatry experts who provide the consultations, training and referrals. And they represent renowned organizations across New York State.
