From the founding of WellLife to the future.
A Foundation of Trust
Since 1980, WellLife Network, formerly PSCH, has met the growing challenges of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and mental illness. Our multidisciplinary approach and centralized referral process helps ensure that each person we serve receives the appropriate range of services and level of care. Each receiving an individual treatment plan, coordinated by highly competent and supportive case management professionals.
In its early years, WellLife Network operated and maintained community residential facilities for people with developmental disabilities and mental illness, and to provide programs of care, service, habilitation, rehabilitation, social and recreational activities, in a homelike environment. It was a humble but meaningful beginning.
Growing to Grow Stronger
For almost four decades, WellLife Network has changed, evolved and expanded, while remaining true to its mission of meeting the diverse needs of the New York community.
Since its founding, the WellLife Network culture has been marked by program growth and organizational development. As the agency has developed, major initiatives have been set in place serving new client populations. Our growth has also been fueled since 2011 through a merger with the Pederson-Krag Center, expanding WellLife Network’s reach to Long Island, providing family and children’s services along with substance abuse, prevention and treatment programs.
Today a network of caring and success
Today, with an annual operating budget of $130 million, a workforce of 1,700+ staff, interns, and volunteers and an affiliate subsidiary company, WellLife Network delivers critical services in the areas of behavioral health, intellectual and developmental disabilities, housing, co-occurring substance abuse behaviors, family support, vocational training, and care management.
These services meet the pressing needs of more than 25,000 individuals and families annually, some 2,000 New Yorkers every single day.
Being there in the future
A key element to our successful growth is our focus on technology, financial viability, and quality assurance – critical infrastructure supports that enable WellLife Network to deliver services with cost-efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability.
Be a life changer.
It’s what you do.
