More about Institute for Comm Living

ICL's vision is to be a national model of whole health care for people with behavioral health challenges. The organization operates across multiple community-based settings rather than functioning as a traditional hospital. Nurses at ICL play key roles in treatment planning, crisis intervention, risk management, quality assurance activities, and serve as mental health advocates in community activities. The work environment is mission-driven, focused on serving vulnerable populations with behavioral health needs in community settings throughout New York City.

ICL's mission is to help New Yorkers with behavioral health challenges live healthy and fulfilling lives by providing comprehensive housing, health care, and recovery services. Core values include: Equity and Inclusion (embracing and respecting differences), Compassion (approaching every interaction with empathy), Integrity (upholding honesty and transparency), Accountability (taking ownership of responsibilities), and Quality (commitment to continuous improvement).
