“To be in high school and have those symptoms was terrifying for me because I did not know who I could talk to.”- Amy

If you’re a teen or young adult who is experiencing recent changes in thinking or perception (like hearing or seeing things), OnTrackNY is a space just for you — to be yourself, to grow your support tools and network, and to make decisions about your own care. Our goal at OnTrackNY is to empower young people to pursue their goals for school, work, and relationships.

You can learn more about our program – and hear from more program participants, as well as graduates, families, and team members – at ontrackny.org (link in bio👆)
