The Mental Health Department is a part of Tompkins County in New York and provides assessment, counseling, and treatment and crisis services to adults, children and families with mental health impairments on a sliding scale basis. It conducts court-ordered evaluations for family courts in Tompkins and adjacent counties and evaluates and monitors mental health services for jail inmates. The department supports a mental health program that offers case management services to adults with severe and persistent mental illness. The Mental Health Department also conducts a forensic program that is the formal link between the mental health and the criminal justice systems and provides assessment, evaluation and crisis intervention services to the inmates of the Tompkins County Public Safety Building.

It is our mission to facilitate access to health care for all with a focus on the needs of the uninsured. At Ithaca Free Clinic we offer 100% free conventional and holistic healthcare services for anyone without health insurance.
